An active fuzzy object-oriented database approach

Abstract

Knowledge intensive applications require an intelligent environment which can perform deductions due to user queries or events that occur inside or outside the environment. In this study, we propose a fuzzy active object-oriented database for modelling knowledge intensive applications. Our approach integrates fuzzy, active and deductive rules with database objects, so that the system gains intelligent behaviour, which provides the objects to perceive dynamic occurrences and answer user queries. In this way, the objects can produce new knowledge and keep themselves in a consistent, stable, and up to-date state.
