Abstract:This paper proposes a logic framework for modeling the interaction among incomplete and inconsistent deductive databases in a P2P environment. It stems from the work in [9,13,14,16,17] in which the declarative semantics of a P2P system is defined in terms of maximal weak models and the work in [15] in which the declarative semantics of a P2P system is defined in terms of minimal weak models. The maximal weak models semantics is based on the idea to use the mapping rules to import in each peer as much knowledge… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
