Detecting and Resolving Unsound Workflow Views for Correct Provenance Analysis
Summary: Unsound workflow views misrepresent dataflow and corrupt provenance; splits unsound composites to restore soundness with minimal change. NP-hard; weak/strong local optimality with polynomial-time correction; experiments favor the strong variant. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
