The strong partial transitive-closure problem: Algorithms and performance evaluation

1996-08-01
The development of efficient algorithms to process the different forms of transitive-closure (To) queries within the context of large database systems has recently attracted a large volume of research efforts. In this paper, we present two new algorithms suitable for processing one of these forms, the so called strong partially instantiated transitive closure, in which one of the query's arguments is instantiated to a set of constants and the processing of which yields a set of tuples that draw their values from both of the query's instantiated and uninstantiated arguments. These algorithms avoids the redundant computations and high storage cost found in a number of similar algorithms. Using simulation, this paper compares the performance of the new algorithms with those found in literature and shows clearly the superiority of the new algorithms.

An efficient transitive closure algorithm for distributed databases
Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (1993-01-01)
© 1993 IEEE.Because most of the recognizable queries in deductive databases can be transformed into transitive-closure (TC) problem, the development of efficient algorithms to process the different forms of TC problems within the context of large database systems has recently attracted a large amount of research efforts. However, the parallelization of the computation of TC is still a new issue and there are only a few and recent parallel TC algorithms. Most of these parallel algorithms mere developed for s...

In this paper, we present a neic algorithm suitable for full transitive closure problem, which zs used to solve uninstentiated recursive qi1enes in deductive databases. In this new algorithm there are two phases. In the first phase a general graph is condensed into an acyclic graph a...
An attempt to classify Turkish district data : K-Means and Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithms
Aksoy, Ece; Işık, Oğuz; Department of Geodetic and Geographical Information Technologies (2004)
There is no universally applicable clustering technique in discovering the variety of structures display in data sets. Also, a single algorithm or approach is not adequate to solve every clustering problem. There are many methods available, the criteria used differ and hence different classifications may be obtained for the same data. While larger and larger amounts of data are collected and stored in databases, there is increasing the need for efficient and effective analysis methods. Grouping or classific...
Using fuzzy Petri nets for static analysis of rule-bases
Bostan-Korpeoglu, B; Yazıcı, Adnan (2004-01-01)
We use a Fuzzy Petri Net (FPN) structure to represent knowledge and model the behavior in our intelligent object-oriented database environment, which integrates fuzzy, active and deductive rules with database objects. However, the behavior of a system can be unpredictable due to the rules triggering or untriggering each other (non-termination). Intermediate and final database states may also differ according to the order of rule executions (non-confluence). In order to foresee and solve problematic behavior...
