Dura
The reactive event processing language, that is developed in the context of this project, has been called DEAL in previous documents. When we chose this name for our language it has not been used by other authors working in the same research area (complex event processing). However, in the meantime it appears in publications of other authors and because we have not used the name in publications yet we cannot claim that we were the first to use it. In order to avoid ambiguities and name conflicts in future publications we decided to rename our language to Dura which stands for āDeclarative uniform reactive event processing languageā. Therefore the title of this deliverable has been updated to āDura ā Concepts and Examplesā
Problem solving in ID-logic with aggregates: some experiments
The goal of the LP+ project at the K.U.Leuven is to design an expressive
logic, suitable for declarative knowledge representation, and to develop
intelligent systems based on Logic Programming technology for solving
computational problems using the declarative specifications. The ID-logic is an
integration of typed classical logic and a definition logic. Different
abductive solvers for this language are being developed. This paper is a report
of the integration of high order aggregates into ID-logic and the consequences
on the solver SLDNFA.Comment: 9 pages conference: NMR2000, special track on abductive reasonin
Web and Semantic Web Query Languages
A number of techniques have been developed to facilitate
powerful data retrieval on the Web and Semantic Web. Three categories
of Web query languages can be distinguished, according to the format
of the data they can retrieve: XML, RDF and Topic Maps. This article
introduces the spectrum of languages falling into these categories
and summarises their salient aspects. The languages are introduced using
common sample data and query types. Key aspects of the query
languages considered are stressed in a conclusion
Experiences with Some Benchmarks for Deductive Databases and Implementations of Bottom-Up Evaluation
OpenRuleBench is a large benchmark suite for rule engines, which includes
deductive databases. We previously proposed a translation of Datalog to C++
based on a method that "pushes" derived tuples immediately to places where they
are used. In this paper, we report performance results of various
implementation variants of this method compared to XSB, YAP and DLV. We study
only a fraction of the OpenRuleBench problems, but we give a quite detailed
analysis of each such task and the factors which influence performance. The
results not only show the potential of our method and implementation approach,
but could be valuable for anybody implementing systems which should be able to
execute tasks of the discussed types.Comment: In Proceedings WLP'15/'16/WFLP'16, arXiv:1701.0014
A Potpourri of Reason Maintenance Methods
We present novel methods to compute changes to materialized
views in logic databases like those used by rule-based reasoners.
Such reasoners have to address the problem of changing axioms in the
presence of materializations of derived atoms. Existing approaches have
drawbacks: some require to generate and evaluate large transformed programs
that are in Datalog - while the source program is in Datalog and
significantly smaller; some recompute the whole extension of a predicate
even if only a small part of this extension is affected by the change.
The methods presented in this article overcome these drawbacks and derive
additional information useful also for explanation, at the price of an
adaptation of the semi-naive forward chaining
