Previous work reports about SXSI, a fast XPath engine which executes tree automata over compressed XML indexes. Here, reasons are investigated why SXSI is so fast. It is shown tha...
We investigate the complexity of earliest query answering for n-ary node selection queries defined by streaming tree automata (STAs). We elaborate an algorithm that selects query ...
We study relations on trees defined by first-order constraints over a vocabulary that includes the tree extension relation Ì Ì ¼, holding if and only if every branch of Ì ex...
In this work we investigate the satisfiability problem for the logic XPath( , , =), that includes all downward axes as well as equality and inequality tests. We address this probl...
We prove the decidability of the quantifier-free, static fragment of ambient logic, with composition adjunct and iteration, which corresponds to a kind of regular expression langu...
