Abstract. We investigate the possibility of (bi)simulation-like preorder/equivalence checking on the class of visibly pushdown automata and its natural subclasses visibly BPA (Basi...
Abstract. The notion of user preference in database modeling has recently received much attention in advanced applications, such as personalization of e-services, since it captures...
The instance complexity of a string x with respect to a set A and time bound t, ict (x : A), is the length of the shortest program for A that runs in time t, decides x correctly, ...
Information on the behavior of programs is essential for deciding the number and nature of functional units in high performance architectures. In this paper, we present studies on...

A tuple t1 of relation R subsumes tuple t2 of R, with respect to a query Q if for every database, tuple t1 derives all, and possibly more, answers to query Q than derived by tuple ...
