Querying Graph Patterns

Summary: Classifies graph patterns by features (node/label variables, regex edges) and gives tight data/combined complexity for standard graph queries, pinpointing features driving intractability and syntactic restrictions for tractability. Introduces a novel two-mode automata model (node-accepting vs path-accepting) for answering pattern queries, analyzes its algorithmic properties, and shows many hard cases can be cast as CSPs.
