We introduce the class of Rigid Tree Automata (RTA), an extension of standard bottom-up automata on ranked trees with distinguished states called rigid. Rigid states define a res...
We investigate the first-order theory of subtyping constraints. We show that the first-order theory of nonstructural subtyping is undecidable, and we show that in the case where a...

A large fraction of an XML document typically consists of text data. The XPath query language allows text search via the equal, contains, and starts-with predicates. Such predicate...

We study visibly pushdown automata (VPA) models for expressing and evaluating queries, expressed using MSO formulas, on words with a nesting structure (like XML documents). We de...
We present the implementation of the trace theory in a new model checking tool framework, POEM, that has a strong emphasis on Partial Order Methods. A tree structure is used to sto...
