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...
Recent advances in non-monotonic semantics of deductive databases provide a simple framework for modeling the even-condition-action rules of active databases. This approach unifie...
Deductive database technology represents an important step towards the goal of developing highly-declarative database programming languages. In order to make deductive databases a ...

Motivated by the possibilities of applying deductive database technology for efficient query answering in description logics, we present a translation operator µ that transforms...
In [23] we presented a partial evaluation scheme for a “real life” subset of Prolog, containing first-order built-in’s, simple side-effects and the operational predicate i...
The integration of object-oriented concepts into deductive databases has been investigated for a certain time now. Various approaches to incorporate updates into deduction have be...
Deductive Databases are coming of age with the emergence of efficient and easy to use systems that support queries, reasoning, and application development on databases through dec...
This paper introduces a formalism to describe the needs and preferences of database users. Because of the precise formulation of these concepts, we have found an automatic and ver...
Logic and databases have gone a long way together since the advent of relational databases. Already the rst basic query languages for relational databases beside relational algebra...
A uniform framework is presented to describe the most typical strategies that are used to compute answers to Deductive Databases. The framework is based on the definition of a ge...
