By Courcelle's Theorem we know that any property of finite structures definable in monadic second-order logic (MSO) becomes tractable over structures with bounded treewidth. T...
Most applications that are in use today inter-operate with other applications, so-called peers, over a network. The analysis of such distributed applications requires that the effe...
The retrieval of videos of interest from large video collections is a main open problem which calls for the definition of new video content characterization techniques in term of ...
The exploration of multidimensional scalar fields is commonly based on the knowledge of the topology of their isosurfaces. The latter is established through the analysis of critic...
We present a novel reasoning procedure for Horn SHIQ ontologies--SHIQ ontologies that can be translated to the Horn fragment of first-order logic. In contrast to traditional reaso...
