The advent of commercial tools that support reasoning and management of RDF data stores provides a robust base for the growth of Semantic Web applications. There is as yet no analogous set of tools and products to support advanced logic-based applications. This article examines issues that arise when seeking to combine the expressive power of Common Logic with the scalability of an RDF store. I...

This paper focuses on the problem of consistency in distributed data stores. We define strong consistency model which provides a simple semantics for application programmers, but impossible to achieve with availability and partition-tolerance. We also define weaker consistency models including causal and eventual consistency. We review COPS and GentleRain as two causally consistent data stores ...

This column focuses on a new feature defined in the CORBA Messaging Specification [1] called time-independent invocation (TII), which adds store-and-forward features to CORBA. Prior to the Messaging spec, CORBA requests were sent by a client and handled immediately by the server, with the server returning any response as soon as it finished processing the request, as shown in Figure 1. As shown in
