• Computing Science Seminar. Eiter on"Towards a Logic-based Framework for Analyzing Stream Reasoning"

  29 October 2014, 14:00 - 15:00

  Abstract:  The rise of smart applications has drawn interest to logical reasoning over data streams. Recently, different query languages and stream processing / reasoning engines were proposed in different communities. However, due to a lack of theoretical foundations, the expressivity and semantics of diverse approaches was given only informally. Towards clear specifications and means for...
