Agent systems that search the Semantic Web are seen as killer applications for description logic (DL) inference engines. The guiding examples for the Semantic Web involve informat...
We present a query architecture in which join operators are decomposed into their constituent data structures (State Modules, or SteMs), and dataflow among these SteMs is managed ...
