In this paper we study Secrecy-Preserving Query Answering problem under Open World Assumption (OWA) for \(\mathcal {EL}^+\) ...

We study \(\mathcal{ALCK}_m\) and $\mathc...

We consider the problem of answering queries against an \(\mathcal{EL}\) knowledge base (KB) using secrets, whenever it is possib...

We present the syntax and semantics of a family of modular ontology languages, Package-based Description Logics (P-DL), to support context- specific reuse of knowledge from multiple ontology modules. In partic...

Consider a set of elements which we want to rate using information about their bilateral relationships. For instance sports teams and the outcomes of their games, journals and their mutual citations, web sites...

Consider the problem of ranking social alternatives based on the number of voters that prefer one alternative to the other. Or consider the problem of ranking chess players by their past performance. A wide va...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Bounds are given on the size of the parameter-space decomposition induced by multiple sequence alignment problems where phylogenetic information may be given or inferred. It is shown that many of the usual for...

In this paper we consider the complexity of several problems involving finite algebraic structures. Given finite universal algebras A and B, these problems ask: (1) Do A and B satisfy precisely the same identitie...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Two applications of sparsification to parametric computing are given. The first is a fast algorithm for enumerating all distinct minimum spanning trees in a graph whose edge weights vary linearly with a parame...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We give a linear-time algorithm for the minimum-ratio spanning tree problem on planar graphs. The algorithm is based on a new planar minimum spanning tree algorithm. The approach extends to other parametric mi...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We give linear-time algorithms for a class of parametric search problems on weighted graphs of bounded tree-width. We also discuss the implications of our results to approximate parametric search on planar gra...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The class DTT DR (respectively, DTT) is the family of all deterministic top-down tree transductions with deterministic top-down look-ahead (respectively, no look-ahead). In this pa...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We consider optimization problems on weighted graphs where vertex and edge weights are polynomial functions of a parameter λ. We show that, if a problem satisfies certain regularity properties and the underlying ...

A counting finite-state automaton is a nondeterministic finite-state automaton which, on an input over its input alphabet, (magically) writes in binary the number of accepting computations on the input. We exa...

We introduce a new class of programs, called Finite Relational Linear Programs (FRLP), capable of modeling simple data processing applications. We analyze these programs with respect to tradeoffs between featu...

Directed acyclic graphs (dags) model derivations of phrasestructure grammars analogously to the way that trees model derivations of context-free grammars.
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper compares several algebraic software description techniques which were proposed recently. Using language theoretic tools we show that some of the most handy concurrent behavior descriptors (inverse s...
