PROLOG/RDBMS Integration in the NED Intelligent Information System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The following paper describes recent work on NED-2, an intelligent information system for ecosystem management currently in development by the USDA Forest Service. Using knowledge bases created by forestry experts and inference engines, NED-2 evaluates forest inventories according to a set of predefined goals. By integrating third-party simulation and visualization packages, NED-2 allows the user to plan, predict, and assess forest treatment scenarios. NED-2 is a blackboard system featuring agents implemented in PROLOG. Inventory, data calculation, and forest management plan creation modules are implemented in C++. The primary storage medium of NED-2 is a set of relational databases. The present paper focuses upon an issue of central importance to the project: the integration of PROLOG and relational databases to form the blackboard of NED-2.

A common problem in using and running RDBMS is performance, which highly depends on the quality of the database schema design and the resulting structure of the tables and the logical relations between them. In production reality, the performance mainly depends on the data that is stored in an RDBMS and on the semantics comprised in the data and the corresponding queries. We implemented a syste...

متن کاملEfficient and Scalable Induction of Logic Programs Using a Deductive Database System
A consequence of ILP systems being implemented in Prolog (e.g., [1–3]) or using Prolog libraries (e.g., [4]) is that, usually, these systems use the Prolog internal database to store and manipulate data. However, in real-world problems, the original data is rarely in Prolog format. In fact, due to the huge amount of information used to characterise these type of problems, the data is often kept...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Information System for Forest Management: NED/FVS Integration
An Intelligent Information System (IIS) is viewed as composed of a unified knowledge base, database, and model base. This allows an IIS to provide responses to user queries regardless of whether the query process involves a data retrieval, an inference, a computational method, a problem solving module, or some combination of these. NED-2 is a full-featured intelligent information system for the...
