Aktuelles Einführung Ort und Zeit Vorträge Vortragsthemen Spielregeln
Anhand von Originalarbeiten und ergänzender Literatur werden im Seminar aktuelle Themen der Theoretischen Informatik erarbeitet.
Ziele sind das Kennenlernen neuer Forschungsergebnisse, das Verstehen wissenschaftlicher Originaltexte, die Fähigkeit zur Einordnung der Inhalte und Beweistechniken, sowie deren Wiedergabe in eigener Darstellung in einem begrenzten Zeitrahmen.
Das Seminar richtet sich an fortgeschrittene Studierende in einem Diplom- oder Masterstudiengang, die sich im Bereich Theoretische Informatik spezialisieren wollen. Die Teilnahme am Seminar setzt Kenntnisse, die in den Vorlesungen "Ausgewählte Kapitel der Logik", "Logik und Komplexität" oder "Einführung in die Datenbanktheorie" vermittelt werden, voraus.

Abstract: Nowhere dense graph classes form a large variety of classes of sparse graphs, including the class of planar graphs, actually all classes with excluded minors or topological minors, and classes of bounded expansion. We proved in 2013 that deciding properties of graphs definable in first-order logic is fixed-parameter tractable on nowhere dense graph classes. In this tutorial we introduce nowhere dense graph classes with a focus on the properties of these classes that are used in the first-order model-checking algorithm. We then sketch a proof of our model-checking result. |

Abstract: A typical problem in database theory is to verify whether there exists a relation (or database) instance satisfying a number of given dependency constraints. This problem has received a renewed deal of interest within the context of data exchange, but the issue of handling constraints on aggregate data has not been much investigated so far, notwithstanding the relevance of aggregate operations in exchange systems. In this talk, we introduce count constraints that require the results of given count operations on a relation to be within a certain range. Count constraints are defined by a suitable extension of first order predicate calculus, based on set terms, and they are then used in a new decisional problem, the Inverse OLAP: given a star schema, does there exist a relation instance satisfying a set of given count constraints? The new problem turns out to be NEXP complete under various conditions: program complexity, data complexity and combined complexity. Count constraints can be also used into a data exchange system context, where data from the source database are transferred to the target database using aggregate operations. In this framework, we show how to enrich source data with additional background information and knowledge patterns on the application domain, derived by previous analysis of experiences from both experts and simple users. We shall therefore investigate the following challenge: devising a data exchange setting for enhancing the information content of source data. As an example, given raw data about restaurants and post reviews, we want to classify the restaurants according to the various "dimensions" (i.e., categorized properties or other features) that have been singled out and evaluated in the reviews. Domenico Sacca is full professor of Computer Engineering at the University of Calabria since 1987. From 2009 on, he is also President of the Computing and Telecommunication Competence Center ICT-SUD, operating in five regions of Southern Italy: Calabria, Campania, Puglia, Sardegna and Sicilia. From January 2002 to January 2009, he was Director of the CNR (the Italian National Research Council) Research Institute ICAR (Institute for High Performance Computing and Networking), located in Rende (CS) and branches in Naples and Palermo. He was also visiting scientist at IBM Laboratory of San Jose, at the Computer Science Department of UCLA and at the ICSI Institute of Berkeley; moreover, he was scientific consultant of MCC, Austin. His current research interests focus on advanced issues of databases such as: data and process mining, inverse data mining, data warehousing, compressed representation of datacubes, database query languages. Recently he is also conducting some research activities on cyber security topics such as protection of systems, services and end users as well as on privacy issues. His list of publications contains more than 150 papers on journals (including Journal of the ACM, SIAM Journal on Computing, ACM Transactions on Database Systems, Theoretical Computer Science, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, VLDB Journal, Information Systems, ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data) and on proceedings of international conferences. |
