We introduce PLC-Automata as a new class of automata which are tailored to deal with real-time properties of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). These devices are often used in...
In this paper we study the expressive power of query languages for nested bags. We de ne the ambient bag language by generalizing the constructs of the relational language of Brea...
OLAP applications use precomputation of aggregate data to improve query response time. While this problem has been well-studied in the recent database literature, to our knowledge ...
