Implementing High Level Active Rules on top of a Relational DBMS

Summary: Extends RDL1 to active rules, enabling high-level triggering with derived conditions rather than hand-written. Semantics via a partial fixpoint operator unifies deductive and active DB paradigms; architecture fronts event-detection to a relational DBMS. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
