StreamRule: a nonmonotonic stream reasoning system for the semantic web

Stream reasoning is an emerging research field focused on dynamic processing and continuous reasoning over huge volumes of streaming data. Finding the right trade-off between scalability and expressivity is a key challenge in this area. In this paper, we want to provide a baseline for exploring the applicability of complex reasoning to the Web of Data based on a solution that combines results and approaches from database research, stream processing, and nonmonotonic logic programming.
