In this paper we present query filtering techniques based on bottom-up tree automata for XML access control. In our authorization model (RXACL), RDF statements are used to represen...
MSO logic on unranked trees has been identified as a convenient theoretical framework for reasoning about expressiveness and implementations of practical XML query languages. As a...

We consider the navigational core of XPath, extended with two operators: the Kleene star for taking the transitive closure of path expressions, and a subtree relativisation operat...
In regular inference, the problem is to infer a regular language, typically represented by a deterministic finite automaton (DFA) from answers to a finite set of membership querie...
Abstract. Tree-walking automata (TWAs) recently received new attention in the fields of formal languages and databases. Towards a better understanding of their expressiveness, we c...
