Managing Conflicts between Rules

Summary: Declarative logical meta-rules to express relationships among rules and control interactions in active databases and other rule-based systems. Polynomial-time static analyses to detect dead rules, possible co-execution, and guarantee uniqueness of execution sets; validated on an AT&T billing application.
