A system for map** rules and objects from a database system during an inference cycle
includes a database system a knowledge request translator, and an inference system. The …

This paper describes a method for retrieval-byunification(RBU) operations, especially
unificationjoin, on a relational knowledge base. The relational knowledge base is a …

We present a novel approach to a relational database machine for processing knowledge
bases. This approach is based on functional programming concepts in order to manage …

We assume a back-end type relational data base machine equipped with multiple dedicated
engines for relational database operations. Response characteristics are evaluated, and …

Abstract Knowledge is the most precious ingredient facilitating aerospace engineering
research and product development activities. Currently, the most common knowledge …

Fuzzy inference engines based on the existing fuzzy theory are inadequate to perform
reliable decision making. Besides requiring the fuzzy sets and data to be normalized, the …

This paper proposes a deductive database which manages a mass of rule-clauses in a disk
as well as many fact-clauses in a disk. For this purpose, we propose a variant of relational …

This paper describes a knowledge base machine (KBM) that is being researched and
developed from the viewpoint of parallel logic programming. From the idea of parallel logic …

A description is given of parallel control techniques and performance evaluations by
simulation for the knowledge-base machine (KBM) using the multiport page-memory …

As part of Japan's Fifth Generation Computer Project for the development of a knowledge
base machine (KBM), an advanced database machine incorporating a new data model and …
