Incorporating Fuzzy Inference in Active Database Rules

Active databases react to stimulation, or event from inside or outside the system without user or application interference through Events Conditions Actions(ECA) rules (triggers). ECA rule is defined as: ON event IF condition THEN action, which means when an event happens, ff the condition is satisfied then the corresponding action is executed. The nature of ECA rule makes it an appropriate means to model dynamic character of systems, as gained much studies during recent years. Traditional ECA rule is crisp, which means their events, condition (s) and action(s) are accurate. As indicate that ECA rules can only represent precise knowledge. But knowledge is usually fuzzy in engineering. A concept of fuzzy ECA rules characterized with fuzzy event, fuzzy condition and fuzzy action is vrovosed in this article. The realization avenues of fuzzy triggers are discussed. The work we have done blazes a way in representing approximate syntax in active database application systems. At last a case of “ overheating alarm” is given to illustrate the approach.
