They provide  inference capabilities to the database system by encapsulating the  knowledge of the application domain within the database. \u003cbr\u003e  Knowledge is the most valuable of all corporate resources that must be  captured, stored, re-used and continuously improved, in much the same  way as database systems were important in the previous decade. \u003cbr\u003e  Flexible, extensible, and yet efficient Knowledge Base Systems are  needed to capture the increasing demand for knowledge-based  applications which will become a significant market in the next  decade. \u003cbr\u003e  Knowledge can be expressed in many static and dynamic forms; the most  prominent being domain objects, their relationships, and their rules  of evolution and transformation. It is important to express and  seamlessly use all types of knowledge in a single Knowledge Base  System. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eParallel, Object-Oriented, and Active Knowledge Base Systems\u003c\/em\u003e  presents in detail features that a Knowledge Base System should have  in order to fulfill the above requirements. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eParallel, Object-Oriented, and Active Knowledge Base Systems\u003c\/em\u003e  covers in detail the following topics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntegration of deductive, production, and active rules in  sequential database systems. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIntegration and inter-operation of  multiple rule types into the same Knowledge Base System.  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eParallel rule matching and execution, for deductive, production,  and active rules, in parallel Export, Knowledge Base, and Database  Systems. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eIn-depth description of a Parallel, Object-Oriented,  and Active Knowledge Base System that integrates all rule paradigms  into a single database system without hindering performance. \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eParallel, Object-Oriented, and Active Knowledge Base Systems\u003c\/em\u003e is  intended as a graduate-level text for a course on Knowledge Base  Systems and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in the  areas of database systems, knowledge base systems and Artificial  Intelligence. \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792381174\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-6134-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 152\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46311633027212,"sku":"9780792381174","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792381174.jpg?v=1771509082","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792381174","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
