The evolution of complex software systems is promoted by software engineering principles and techniques like separation of concerns, encapsulation, stepwise refinement, and reusab...
We present the architecture and a performance assessment of an extensible query optimizer written in Venus. Venus is a general-purpose active-database rule language embedded in C+...
Feature trees have been used to accommodate records in constraint programming and record like structures in computational linguistics. Feature trees model records, and feature cons...
