We provide a global technique, called neatening, for the study of modularity of left-linear Term Rewriting Systems. Objects called bubbles are identi ed as the responsibles of mos...
We study the problem of finding efficient equivalent viewbased rewritings of relational queries, focusing on query optimization using materialized views under the assumption that ...
WS-BPEL applications are a kind of service-oriented application. They use XPath extensively to integrate loosely-coupled workflow steps. However, XPath may extract wrong data from...
Abstract. Most methods for termination analysis of term rewrite systems (TRSs) essentially try to find arguments of functions that decrease in recursive calls. However, they fail ...
Higher-order narrowing is a general method for higher-order equational reasoning and serves for instance as the foundation for the integration of functional and logic programming. ...
