In ordered logic programs, i.e. partially ordered sets of clauses where smaller rules carry more preference, inconsistencies, which appear as conflicts between applicable rules, a...
This paper describes how to increase the efficiency of inductive data mining algorithms by replacing the central matching operation with a marker propagation technique. Breadth-fi...
—We present a new access method, called the path dictionary index (PDI) method, for supporting nested queries on object-oriented databases. PDI supports object traversal and asso...
We present a new method of Logic-Based Genetic Programming (LBGP). Using the intrinsic mechanism of backtracking in Prolog, we utilize large individual programs with redundant clau...
Given that most elementary problems in database design are NP-hard, the currently used database design algorithms produce suboptimal results. For example, the current 3NF decompos...
