Alert: An Architecture for Transforming a Passive DBMS into an Active DBMS

Summary: Alert reuses the passive SQL DBMS, adding an active-DBMS layer with minimal changes. It supports multiple production-rule languages over user-defined and built-in ops, with both synchronous and asynchronous event monitoring, implemented atop Starburst.
