A number of efficient methods for evaluating first-order and monadic-second order queries on finite relational structures are based on tree-decompositions of structures or quer...
We rework parts of the classical relational theory when the underlying domain is a structure with some interpreted operations that can be used in queries. We identify parts of the...
It is known that the composition of schema mappings, each specified by source-to-target tgds (st-tgds), can be specified by a secondorder tgd (SO tgd). We consider the question of...
Mean-Shift (MS) is a powerful non-parametric clustering method. Although good accuracy can be achieved, its computational cost is particularly expensive even on moderate data sets...
Abstract. The structural heterogeneity and complexity of XML repositories makes query formulation challenging for users who have little knowledge of XML. To assist its users, an XM...
