Survey of Distributed Decision
We survey the recent distributed computing literature on checking whether a
given distributed system configuration satisfies a given boolean predicate,
i.e., whether the configuration is legal or illegal w.r.t. that predicate. We
consider classical distributed computing environments, including mostly
synchronous fault-free network computing (LOCAL and CONGEST models), but also
asynchronous crash-prone shared-memory computing (WAIT-FREE model), and mobile
computing (FSYNC model)
Context-Free Path Queries on RDF Graphs
Navigational graph queries are an important class of queries that canextract
implicit binary relations over the nodes of input graphs. Most of the
navigational query languages used in the RDF community, e.g. property paths in
W3C SPARQL 1.1 and nested regular expressions in nSPARQL, are based on the
regular expressions. It is known that regular expressions have limited
expressivity; for instance, some natural queries, like same generation-queries,
are not expressible with regular expressions. To overcome this limitation, in
this paper, we present cfSPARQL, an extension of SPARQL query language equipped
with context-free grammars. The cfSPARQL language is strictly more expressive
than property paths and nested expressions. The additional expressivity can be
used for modelling graph similarities, graph summarization and ontology
alignment. Despite the increasing expressivity, we show that cfSPARQL still
enjoys a low computational complexity and can be evaluated efficiently.Comment: 25 page
