We study relations on trees defined by first-order constraints over a vocabulary that includes the tree extension relation Ì Ì ¼, holding if and only if every branch of Ì ex...
BDDs and their algorithms implement a decision procedure for Quanti ed Propositional Logic. BDDs are a kind of acyclic automata. Unrestricted automata (recognizing unbounded string...
Abstract. Tree-walking automata (TWAs) recently received new attention in the fields of formal languages and databases. Towards a better understanding of their expressiveness, we c...
Axiom pinpointing has been introduced in description logics (DL) to help the user understand the reasons why consequences hold by computing minimal subsets of the knowledge base th...
Semantic interoperability is essential on the Semantic Web to enable different information systems to exchange data. Such interoperability can be achieved by identifying similar in...
