Event Specification in an Active Object-Oriented Database

Summary: Formal Event-Action model for active OODBs; composite events compiled to finite automata for efficient detection. Unifies event, condition, and action; enables couplings beyond ECA; uses per-class automata with local state for scalable seqs detection. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
