Relational Database Behavior: Utilizing Relational Discrete Event Systems and Models
Summary: Introduces Relational Discrete Event Systems/Models (RDES/RDEMs) to formalize relational DB behavior, defines production-system and recurrence-equation RDEMs and compares their expressive power. Shows non-determinism strictly increases expressiveness and proposes production-system interpreters, with a parallel-deterministic interpreter that improves on common conflict-resolution (e.g., OPS5).
