Entity resolution (ER), an important and common data cleaning problem, is about detecting data duplicate representations for the same external entities, and merging them into single representations. Relatively recently, declarative rules…

Multi-model databases are designed to store, manage, and query data in various models, such as relational, hierarchical, and graph data, simultaneously. In this paper, we provide a theoretical basis for querying categorical databases. We…

By adequate employing of complex event processing (CEP), valuable information can be extracted from the underlying complex system and used in controlling and decision situations. An example application area is management of IT systems for…

This paper focuses on a domain expert querying system over databases. It presents a solution designed for a French enterprise interested in offering a natural language interface for its clients. The approach, based on entity enrichment,…

This paper presents deductive programming for scheduling scenario generation. Modeling for solution is achieved through program transformations. First, declarative model for scheduling problem domain is introduced. After that model is…

The same real-world entity (e.g., a movie, a restaurant, a person) may be described in various ways on different datasets. Entity Resolution (ER) aims to find such different descriptions of the same entity, this way improving data quality…

Database system is an indispensable part of software projects. It plays an important role in data organization and storage. Its performance and efficiency are directly related to the performance of software. Nowadays, we have many general…

Programmers may be hesitant to use declarative systems, because of the associated learning curve. In this paper, we present an API that integrates the IDP Knowledge Base system into the Python programming language. IDP is a state-of-the-art…

The OverRelational Manifesto (below ORM) proposes a possible approach to creation of data storage systems of the next generation. ORM starts from the requirement that information in a relational database is represented by a set of relation…

In this work, we explore the problem of correctly and efficiently answering complex SPJ queries issued directly on top of dirty data. We introduce QueryER, a framework that seamlessly integrates Entity Resolution into Query Processing.…

We allow database user to script a parallel relational database engine with a procedural language. Procedural language code is executed as a user defined relational query operator called transducer. Transducer is tightly integrated with…

Non-determinism is of great importance in functional logic programming. It provides expressiveness and efficiency to functional logic computations. In this paper we describe an implementation of the multi-paradigm functional logic language…

Programs must be correct with respect to their application domain. Yet, the program specification and verification approaches so far only consider correctness in terms of computations. In this work, we present a two-tier Hoare Logic that…

We describe a process calculus featuring high level constructs for component-oriented programming in a distributed setting. We propose an extension of the higher-order pi-calculus intended to capture several important mechanisms related to…

A frequent pattern in customer care conversations is the agents responding with appropriate webpage URLs that address users' needs. We study the task of predicting the documents that customer care agents can use to facilitate users' needs.…

In many industrial settings, users wish to ask questions in natural language, the answers to which require assembling information from diverse structured data sources. With the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), applications can now…

In this article I introduce a new communication theory for complex information represented as a direct graph of nodes. In addition, I introduce an application for the theory, a new radical method, embed, that can be used to update object…

Functional logic languages can solve equations over user-defined data and functions. Thus, the definition of an appropriate meaning of equality has a long history in these languages, ranging from reflexive equality in early equational logic…

Process modeling is usually done using imperative modeling languages like BPMN or EPCs. In order to cope with the complexity of human-centric and flexible business processes several declarative process modeling languages (DPMLs) have been…

Traditional Business Process Management (BPM) focuses on discrete events and fails to incorporate critical continuous sensor data in cyber-physical environments. Hybrid declarative specifications, utilizing Signal Temporal Logic (STL),…
