On Implementing a Language for Specifying Active Database Execution Models

Summary: Heraclitus[Alg,C] extends C/relational algebra with first-class, combinable deltas for specifying alternative active-database rule semantics and virtual states. Hash- and sort-based delta access, including delta-aware operators, demonstrate feasible implementation and broader uses in hypothetical access, versioning, and conflict resolution.
