Abstract :
A logic-oriented object base is defined to be a deductive database based on an object data model. Like conventional databases, logic-orientated object bases can be constructed on top of computer networks in such a way that the distribution of logical and physical components of the system is kept hidden from the users. Objects are organized hierarchically and are retrieved through customized methods. The problem of query optimization in such an environment is investigated.<>
