This paper presents an application of a DL reasoner to the optimization of an object-relational query language. Queries containing aggregate functions are difficult to optimize be...
We consider the problem of rewriting a query efficiently using materialized views. In the context of information integration, this problem has received significant attention in th...
In this paper, we revisit the problem of definitorial completeness, i.e., whether a given general TBox T in a description logic (DL) L can be rewritten to an acyclic TBox T in L . ...
Narrowing was originally introduced to solve equational E-unification problems. It has also been recognized as a key mechanism to unify functional and logic programming. In both ...
Formal semantic definitions of concurrent languages, when specified in a well-suited semantic framework and supported by generic and efficient formal tools, can be the basis of pow...
