In a database system, read operations are much more common than write operations, and consequently, database systems have been read optimized. As the size of main memory increases...
We show how to implement a calculus with higher-order subtyping and subkinding by replacing uses of implicit subsumption with explicit coercions. To ensure this can be done, a pol...
This paper proposes a strategy for parallel composite event detection in Active database systems (DBS). Up to now, the detection is sequential and totally synchronized, and thus p...
Turi [20] introduced the important notion of a constrained atom: an atom with associated equality and disequality constraints on its arguments. A set of constrained atoms is a cons...
In many cases, a logic program can be divided into two parts, so that one of them, the \bottom" part, does not refer to the predicates de ned in the \top" part. The \bot...
