An Optimal Labeling Scheme for Workflow Provenance Using Skeleton Labels
Summary: Skeleton-based reachability labeling for workflow provenance, leveraging a fixed specification to compactly label arbitrarily large runs with forks and loops. The scheme achieves logarithmic label length, linear-time construction, and constant-time query, validated empirically. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
