A Survey on IT-Techniques for a Dynamic Emergency Management in Large Infrastructures
This deliverable is a survey on the IT techniques that are relevant to the three use cases of the project EMILI. It describes the state-of-the-art in four complementary IT areas: Data cleansing, supervisory control and data acquisition, wireless sensor networks and complex event processing. Even though the deliverableās authors have tried to avoid a too technical language and have tried to explain every concept referred to, the deliverable might seem rather technical to readers so far little familiar with the techniques it describes
The Vadalog System: Datalog-based Reasoning for Knowledge Graphs
Over the past years, there has been a resurgence of Datalog-based systems in
the database community as well as in industry. In this context, it has been
recognized that to handle the complex knowl\-edge-based scenarios encountered
today, such as reasoning over large knowledge graphs, Datalog has to be
extended with features such as existential quantification. Yet, Datalog-based
reasoning in the presence of existential quantification is in general
undecidable. Many efforts have been made to define decidable fragments. Warded
Datalog+/- is a very promising one, as it captures PTIME complexity while
allowing ontological reasoning. Yet so far, no implementation of Warded
Datalog+/- was available. In this paper we present the Vadalog system, a
Datalog-based system for performing complex logic reasoning tasks, such as
those required in advanced knowledge graphs. The Vadalog system is Oxford's
contribution to the VADA research programme, a joint effort of the universities
of Oxford, Manchester and Edinburgh and around 20 industrial partners. As the
main contribution of this paper, we illustrate the first implementation of
Warded Datalog+/-, a high-performance Datalog+/- system utilizing an aggressive
termination control strategy. We also provide a comprehensive experimental
evaluation.Comment: Extended version of VLDB paper
