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...
Metaprogramming adds new expressive power to logic programming which can be advantageous to transfer to the field of deductive databases. We propose metaprogramming as a way to mo...
Interval-based methods are commonly used for computing numerical bounds on expressions and proving inequalities on real numbers. Yet they are hardly used in proof assistants, as th...
In this paper we present a new fixpoint-based approach to bottom-up state generation for stratifiable disjunctive deductive databases. To this end, a new consequence operator based...
This paper describes the LDL++ system and the research advances that have enabled its design and development. We begin by discussing the new nonmonotonic and nondeterministic cons...
