Abstract. We had claimed that arc-consistency is preserved in a constraint reformulation relying on functional dependencies (Theorem 2 of [2]). We show that the statement of this t...
Eight years ago, functional dependencies, a concept from the theory of relational databases, were proposed as a mechanism for avoiding common problems with multiple parameter type...
Abstract. We present an algorithm for mining frequent queries in arbitrary relational databases, over which functional dependencies are assumed. Building upon previous results, we ...
Generating query-answering plans for information gathering agents requires to translate a user query, formulated in terms of a set of virtual relations, to a query that uses relat...
Constraints that are defined by tables of allowed tuples of assignments are common in constraint programming. In this paper we present an approach to reformulating table constraint...
XML has emerged as a common standard for data exchange over the World Wide Web. One way to manage XML data is to use the power of relational databases for storing and q...

A fundamental requirement for cooperating agents is to agree on a selection of component values of objects that can be used for reliably communicating references to the objects, to...
Recently, an axiomatization for functional dependencies (FDs) and multivalued dependencies (MVDs) has been established where arbitrary attributes can be specified as NOT NULL. Tha...
Recently, the issue of functional dependencies in XML (XFDs) have been investigated. In this paper we consider the problem of checking the satisfaction of an XFD in an XML document...
Recently, the issues of how to define functional dependencies (XFDs) and multivalued dependencies (XMVDs) in XML have been investigated. In this paper we consider the problem of ...
