Abstract. We prove that for every graph H, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm deciding if a planar graph can be contracted to H. We introduce contractions and topological min...
We consider a mild extension of universal algebra in which terms are built both from deterministic and probabilistic variables, and are interpreted as distributions. We formulate a...

Mobile peer-to-peer groups, which do not require any pre-deployed infrastructure or trusted centralized authority are valuable for a variety of collaborative applications. This wor...
We investigate the phenomenon of non-recursive trade-offs between descriptional systems in an abstract fashion. We aim at categorizing non-recursive trade-offs by bounds on their g...
Abstract This paper analyzes the probabilistic description logic PSHIQ by looking at it as a fragment of probabilistic first-order logic with semantics based on possible worlds. We...
