Temporal Aggregation in Active Database Rules

Summary: Introduces TREPL, a temporal-aggregation language for active rules, filling a gap in composite event languages. Semantics map TREPL rules to Datalog_ls, enabling user-defined temporal aggregates and TSMS-like expressiveness; applicable to ODE, Snoop, SAMOS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
