A Message Passing Framework for Logical Query Evaluation

Summary: Distributed message-passing query evaluation for EDB with IDB Horn rules (no shared memory). Top-down rule/goal graph with sideways information passing, mixed evaluation and monotone-flow pruning yield termination guarantees; links to acyclic schemas.
