Recent advances in non-monotonic semantics of deductive databases provide a simple framework for modeling the even-condition-action rules of active databases. This approach unifie...
Deductive database technology represents an important step towards the goal of developing highly-declarative database programming languages. In order to make deductive databases a ...

After brie y reviewing the basic notions and terminology of active rules and relating them to production rules and deductive rules, respectively, we survey a number of formal appro...
Semantics represents a major problem area for active databases inasmuch as (i) there is l framework for defining the abstract semantics of active rules, and (ii) the various syst...
