ct The backbone of the XML data model, namely ordered, unranked trees, is inherently recursive and it is natural to equip the associated languages with constructs that can query su...
Answer-set programming (ASP) has emerged recently as a viable programming paradigm well attuned to search problems in AI, constraint satisfaction and combinatorics. Propositional ...
We propose a new language concept called "L-closures" for a running program to legitimately inspect/modify the contents of its execution stack. L-closures are lightweight...
We present a new variant of the Earley parsing algorithm capable of efficiently supporting context-free grammars with regular right hand-sides. We present the core state-machine d...
We introduce a controlled form of recursion in XQuery, an inflationary fixed point operator, familiar from the context of relational databases. This operator imposes restriction...
