User-defined preferences allow personalized ranking of query results. A user provides a declarative specification of his/her preferences, and the system is expected to use that ...
XML and XQuery semantics are very sensitive to the order of the produced output. Although pattern-tree based algebraic approaches are becoming more and more popular for evaluating...
Uncertainty processing methods are analysed from the viewpoint of their sensitivity to small variations of certainty factors. The analysis makes use of the algebraic theory which ...
Fluid flow in porous media is a dynamic process that is traditionally modeled using PDE (Partial Differential Equations). In this approach, physical properties related to fluid fl...
Partially ordered sets labeled with k labels (k-posets) and their homomorphisms are examined. The homomorphicity order of k-posets is shown to be a distributive lattice. Homomorph...
