We present a technique for accelerating the rendering of high depth-complexity scenes. In a preprocessing stage, we approximate the input model with a hierarchical data structure ...

Abstract. With increasing volumes of data, much effort has been devoted to finding the most suitable answer to an information need. However, in many domains, the question whether a...
We tackle the problem of defining a well-founded semantics (WFS) for Datalog rules with existentially quantified variables in their heads and negations in their bodies. In partic...
We study two classes of view update problems in relational databases. We are given a source database S, a monotone query Q, and the view Q(S) generated by the query. The first pro...
In the study of data exchange one usually assumes an openworld semantics, making it possible to extend instances of target schemas. An alternative closed-world semantics only move...
