Ping-pong protocols with recursive definitions of agents, but without any active intruder, are a Turing powerful model. We show that under the environment sensitive semantics (i.e....
We present a query answering technique based on notions and results from modal Correspondence Theory. It allows us to answer a wide family of conjunctive queries by polynomial redu...
R-automata are finite state machines extended with counters which can be incremented or reset to zero along the transitions. The universality question asks whether there is a cons...
In this paper we address the problem of query answering and rewriting in global-as-view data integration systems, when key and inclusion dependencies are expressed on the global i...
Abstract. In order to design and analyse complex systems, modelers need formal models with two contradictory requirements: a high expressivity and the decidability of behavioural p...
