摘要： An object-focused workflow system for processing a received object in accordance with a declarative workflow specification. The specification includes modules and attributes, where module execution results in the evaluation of attributes, and may include the initiation of a side-effect action performed by an external component. Whether modules are to be executed for a particular received object is determined by associated enabling conditions. Attributes may be evaluated in accordance with computation rules and a combining policy, where the computation rules specify how values are to be contributed to an attribute, and the combining policy indicates how those contributed values are combined in order to assign a value to the attribute. Tasks in the workflow system may be executed eagerly in order to improve the performance of the workflow system. The eager evaluation of tasks includes the determination of whether such tasks are eligible for eager evaluation, and whether the tasks are unneeded or necessary for the processing of the received event. Workflows which satisfy described design properties allow for improved algorithms for the determination of the whether tasks are eligible, eager, and/or necessary. A graphical user interface is provided for displaying a representation of the evaluation status of the modules and attributes during workflow execution.

摘要： A graphical user interface (GUI) is provided for use in conjunction with attribute evaluation utilizing computation rules and a combining policy. The graphical user interface displays a visual representation of the evaluation of attributes. The GUI displays a representation of the evaluation status of attributes and their associated computation rules during execution. The display may be updated dynamically to provide a user with a visual representation of the progression of attribute evaluation. The representation of evaluation status may include representations of the values assigned to, as well as the state of, data items and associated computation rules. States may be visually represented in the display in various ways, such as using various colors or labels associated with the data items and associated computation rules. Further, the particular data items and computation rules for which evaluation status is represented may be user selectable.

摘要： A logical data architecture for fetch-intensive database applications includes a first and a second logical database. The second database includes materialized views over the first database. Updates are propagated from the first database to the second database using so-called view maintenance techniques. In preferred embodiments, the first database may be optimized for update transactions and the second database may be optimized for read transactions. At least one of the materialized views included in the second database is based on a pre-defined application read transaction. The update processing overhead associated with view maintenance is substantially performed at the first database.

US5978789A Efficient hypothetical query evaluation in a database system 失效

摘要： A hypothetical query in a database system is transformed using algebraic equivalences involving explicit substitutions so as to produce one or more equivalent queries which can be evaluated more efficiently than the original hypothetical query. The hypothetical query may be of the form Q when {U} where Q is a relational algebra query and U is an update expression. The value assigned to the hypothetical query in a database state DB is the value that Q would return in the database state reached from DB by executing update U. One or more explicit substitutions are used to represent hypothetical database state changes, and algebraic equivalences involving the explicit substitutions are applied to the hypothetical query in order to generate at least one additional query which is equivalent to the hypothetical query. Several equivalent queries may be generated, and their estimated computation times compared, in order to select a particular equivalent query for direct evaluation. The use of explicit substitutions to represent hypothetical database state changes allows when constructs or other similar hypothetical programming constructs to be eliminated from the equivalent query. The evaluation process may be facilitated by configuring the original hypothetical query into an evaluable normal form, such that one or more hypothetical state expressions of the query correspond to explicit substitutions, and the hypothetical query does not utilize a composition operator. The selected equivalent query can be evaluated using a purely lazy evaluation strategy, or a hybrid lazy-eager evaluation strategy.
摘要翻译：数据库系统中的假设查询使用涉及显式替换的代数等价进行转换，从而产生一个或多个等效查询，可以比原始假设查询更有效地进行评估。当{U}其中Q是关系代数查询，U是更新表达式时，假设查询可以是形式Q。分配给数据库状态DB中的假设查询的值是Q将通过执行update U从DB获得的数据库状态中返回的值。一个或多个显式替换用于表示假设的数据库状态更改，并且代数等价涉及显式替换被应用于假设查询，以便生成等同于假设查询的至少一个附加查询。可以生成几个等效查询，并且比较它们的估计计算时间，以便选择用于直接评估的特定等效查询。使用显式替换来表示假设的数据库状态变化允许从等价查询中消除构造或其他类似的假设编程结构。可以通过将原始假设查询配置成可评估的正常形式来进行评估过程，使得查询的一个或多个假设状态表达式对应于显式替换，并且假设查询不使用组合运算符。可以使用纯粹懒惰的评估策略或混合惰性评估策略来评估所选的等效查询。
