CONVERGENCE OF SIDEWAYS QUERY EVALUATION (Extended Abstract)
Summary: Top-down AND-OR evaluation for Datalog that performs sideways information passing to instantiate sibling subgoals using monotonicity (partial-order) constraints on relations. Presents an efficient convergence/termination test for a common program class, characterizes the combinatorial properties governing termination, and identifies cases where testing is intractable.
