....entering edges. As a result of different orders of performing the two way joins, many Rete networks can be created for the same rule (or query) A TREAT network, on the other hand, has only one join node that joins all relations at once and is therefore unique for each rule. A performance study (Wang and Hanson, 1992) was conducted and concluded that TREAT is a more efficient technique than Rete in most cases because it requires fewer intermediate nodes in the network. Rete wins in certain situations such as the case that all but one base relation are static. Examples of Rete and TREAT networks for Rule 1 are ....

....is high, with both ff and fi memories storing the intermediate results of computation, and maintenance of such results, particularly on deletion of data, imposes a significant overhead. Recent studies have shown that, Rete is often not the algorithm of choice for large production rule systems [28, 7, 36]. The TREAT algorithm [28] is a modification of the Rete algorithm which does not store the results of join operations in fi memories. Thus a TREAT root course title= Computing alpha1 module level=4 alpha2 alpha3 and beta1 and contains.code=module.code conflict set course.title=component.title ....

The advantages of TREAT over Rete include reduced memory usage (no fi memory support) and faster processing of tuple deletion, as there is no need to keep fi memories up to date. Empirical [28, 7] and simulation based [36] studies have shown that TREAT consistently outperforms Rete, with the added benefit of reduced space overheads. root course title= Computing alpha1 module level=4 alpha2 alpha3 component Figure 3: TREAT network for example rule A number of recent projects have looked at tuning the TREAT ....

The Ariel project has focused on the design of an OPS5 like rule language for the database setting, and on methods for highly efficient rule condition testing using variations on the Rete and TREAT algorithms designed for OPS5 [44]. The Ariel rule language is fully implemented using the Exodus database toolkit [31] The POSTGRES Rule System, sometimes referred to as PRS2 to distinguish it from an earlier proposal [41] focuses in both its language and its implementation on providing several different classes of rules, each ....

....is evaluated by executing a query over the database. We do incorporate one important optimization, namely that a rule condition is understood to be true as soon as the first tuple in the query is found. However, we do not support incremental condition monitoring methods such as those used in Ariel [44] and in OPS5 [9,36] We have explored incremental condition evaluation in the context of Starburst [5] and we plan to explore other run time optimization methods as well. We are interested also in compile time optimization methods, such as static combination of multiple rules that have related ....

Consequently, techniques known from the area of active databases (cf. figure 1) or production rule systems (like e.g. TREAT and Rete, [22]) should be useful for efficient testing of rule conditions in Delta rules. A prototypical implementation of the Statelog architecture in figure 4 is underway [14] It uses XSB Prolog as an efficient query engine [19] Since state terms are compiled away there is no overhead in query ....

For a recent survey of the view maintenance literature, see [10] The problem of what additional views to materialize, in order to reduce the cost of view maintenance, has been studied in the context of rule based systems based on the RETE, TREAT and A TREAT models [23, 13]. These models are based on discrimination networks for each rule (view) the RETE model materializes selection and join nodes in the network, while the TREAT model materializes only the selection nodes. The A TREAT model chooses (for a fixed discrimination network) what nodes to materialize using ....

Some active database systems use methods based on Rete or TREAT networks [WH92] for efficient condition evaluation, e.g. FRS93,Han92] Unfortunately, these methods apply only to rule languages where references to a relation R implicitly reference delta relations for R, and to rule conditions that are restricted to SPJ expressions.

At this juncture we have written a number of query optimizers using VenusDB. A general organization is emerging as well as substantially overlapping code segments from which we expect to define a library of design patterns from which an extensible set of search strategies may be refined [GAM95] ....

This can be considered a view maintenance problem where a rule is triggered whenever the view that satisfies its condition becomes non empty.

It has been observed in a simulation study that TREAT normally outperforms Rete, but the right Rete network can vastly outperform TREAT in some situations [21]. The reason that TREAT is usually better than Rete is that the cost of maintaining fi nodes usually is greater than their benefit in Rete.
