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 define a new logic, STRAND, that allows reasoning with heapmanipulating programs using deductive verification and SMT solvers. STRAND logic (“STRucture ANd Data” logic) f...
We describe an algorithm for deciding the first-order multisorted theory BAPA, which combines 1) Boolean algebras of sets of uninterpreted elements (BA) and 2) Presburger arithmeti...
We revisit the classical chase procedure, studying its properties as well as its applicability to standard database problems. We settle (in the negative) the open problem of decid...
We present an algorithm to solve XPath decision problems under regular tree type constraints and show its use to statically typecheck XPath queries. To this end, we prove the deci...
