We restrict attention to the most common XPath expressions which navigate along the child and/or&nbsp;[&hellip;]

In the setting of DynFO, dynamic programs update the stored result of a query whenever the underlying data changes. This update is expressed in terms of first-order logic. We introduce a strategy for constructing dynamic programs that utilises periodic computation of auxiliary data from scratch and&nbsp;[&hellip;]

Rewriting with Acyclic Queries: Mind Your Head

Gaetano Geck ; Jens Keppeler ; Thomas Schwentick ; Christopher Spinrath.

The paper studies the rewriting problem, that is, the decision problem whether, for a given conjunctive query $Q$ and a set $\mathcal{V}$ of views, there is a conjunctive query $Q'$ over $\mathcal{V}$ that is equivalent to $Q$, for cases where the query, the views, and/or the desired rewriting are&nbsp;[&hellip;]
