Composite Event Specification in Active Databases: Model & Implementation

Summary: Introduces an expressive language for composite active-database events, including pipes and correlation variables for coordinating subhistories and matching attributes. Compiles event expressions into finite automata that recognize trigger conditions efficiently over event histories. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
