Abstract. Tree-walking automata (TWAs) recently received new attention in the fields of formal languages and databases. Towards a better understanding of their expressiveness, we c...
Abstract. Document length is widely recognized as an important factor for adjusting retrieval systems. Many models tend to favor the retrieval of either short or long documents and...
We rework parts of the classical relational theory when the underlying domain is a structure with some interpreted operations that can be used in queries. We identify parts of the...
We give formulations for modal deductive databases and present a modal query language called MDatalog. We define modal relational algebras and give the seminaive evaluation algor...
We consider two-dimensional spatial databases defined in terms of polynomial inequalities and focus on the potential of programming languages for such databases to express queries...
