Extending Trigger By Example Approach to Implement Reactive Agents in Active Databases

There is a connection between reactive agents and active databases that has been already explored earlier ; so far it is known that both fields rely on reactivity and that reactive agents can be implemented in active databases. When talking about active databases triggers are unavoidable. Although one way to implement triggers is to use the Structured Query Language (CREATE TRIGGER statement in SQL), another (more interesting) one is based on the idea of Trigger By Example (TBE) approach. TBE is (on the other hand) based on Query By Example (QBE) that is another language used to work with databases (QBE is a graphically oriented language a bit easier to learn and use than SQL). In this paper a new approach (based on the already mentioned Query By Example and Trigger By Example approaches) to implement reactive agents in active databases is presented, the so-called Agent By Example (ABE) approach.
