Query rewriting using views is an essential issue in data integration. A number of algorithms, e.g., the bucket algorithm, the inverse rules algorithm, the SVB algorithm and the M...
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 ...
In this paper we consider the problem of answering queries using views, which is important for data integration, query optimization, and data warehouses. We consider its simplest ...
This is the first year that the Dalhousie University participated in TREC. We submitted three runs for the QA track. Our evaluation results are generally below the median (with on...
Abstract : The main novelty of this paper is to consider an extension of the Calculus of Constructions where predicates can be defined with a general form of rewrite rules. We prov...
