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...
We propose so called contraction free sequent calculi for the three prominent modal logics K, T, and S4. Deduction search in these calculi is shown to provide more efficient decisi...
Two things are done in this paper. First, a modal logic in which one can quantify over both objects and concepts is presented; a semantics and a tableau system are given. It is a n...
Deductive database technology represents an important step towards the goal of developing highly-declarative database programming languages. In order to make deductive databases a ...
