While the task of answering queries from an arbitrary propositional theory is intractable in general, it can typicallybe performed e ciently if the theory is Horn. This suggests t...
— Uncertain data is quite common nowadays in a variety of modern database applications. At the same time, the join operation is one of the most important but expensive operations...
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...
We present an optimization method and algorithm designed for three objectives: physical data independence, semantic optimization, and generalized tableau minimization. The method ...
