In the traditional data exchange setting, source instances are restricted to be complete in the sense that every fact is either true or false in these instances. Although natural ...
Abstract. We aim to demonstrate that automated deduction techniques, in particular those following the model computation paradigm, are very well suited for database schema/query re...

A universal model of a database D and a set Σ of integrity constraints is a database that extends D, satisfies Σ, and is most general in the sense that it contains sound and co...
Traditionally, computational complexity has considered only static problems. Classical Complexity Classes such as NC, P, and NP are de ned in terms of the complexity of checking {...
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...
