Research

Main researcher of the following projects:

  • Development of a method for automatic time and space complexity analysis for on-demand evaluation of Datalog queries in tabled top-down evaluation engines.
  • Development of a method for bottom-up evaluation of Datalog queries to achieve the same complexity as on-demand evaluation.
  • Establishment of the precise relationship of on-demand evaluation and bottom-up evaluation of Datalog queries.
  • Development of a novel combination of transformations for generating efficient implementations of graph queries for querying programs.
  • Development of a method for generating specialized rules and programs from Datalog rules for on-demand analysis with respect to queries.
  • Implementation of these transformations and analyses in Python, and interfacing the implementation with the XSB logic programming system.
