The notion of partial and evolutionary specification has gained attention both in research and industry in the last years. While many people regard this just as a process issue, w...
Abstract. A new axiom is proposed, the Ground Axiom, asserting that the universe is not a nontrivial set forcing extension of any inner model. The Ground Axiom is first-order expr...
We consider spatial databases in the plane that can be defined by polynomial constraint formulas. Motivated by applications in geographic information systems, we investigate line...
We apply language theory to compare the expressive power of models that extend Petri nets with features like colored tokens and/or whole place operations. Specifically, we conside...
Across various domains, the relational model for databases is employed extensively for the purpose of storing, managing and retrieving data. The translation, however, of data mode...
