In this paper we sketch a decidable inference-based procedure for lexical disambiguation which operates on semantic representations of discourse and conceptual knowledge, In contr...
Consistent query answering is the problem of computing the answers from a database that are consistent with respect to certain integrity constraints that the database as a whole ma...

We study the problem of rewriting queries using views in the presence of access patterns, integrity constraints, disjunction, and negation. We provide asymptotically optimal algori...
Timed automata are governed by an idealized semantics that assumes a perfectly precise behavior of the clocks. The traditional semantics is not robust because the slightest perturb...

We consider the problem of deciding query equivalence for a conjunctive language in which queries output complex objects composed from a mixture of nested, unordered collection ty...
