— Constraints play an important role in the efficient query evaluation in deductive databases. In this paper, constraint-based query evaluation in deductive databases is investi...
Users’ past search behaviour provides a rich context that an information retrieval system can use to tailor its search results to suit an individual’s or a community’s infor...
Abstract. This article deals with global constraints for which the set of solutions can be recognized by an extended finite automaton whose size is bounded by a polynomial in n, w...
