Language Constructs for Programming Active Databases

Summary: Introduces deltas—first-class, inspectable and composable sets of uncommitted updates—as language primitives for programming diverse active-database rule-application semantics. Heraclitus demonstrates AP5 and Starburst semantics and establishes construct-simulatability results. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
