RelView – An OBDD-Based Computer Algebra System for Relations

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNTCS,volume 3718)

Abstract

We present an OBDD-based Computer Algebra system for relational algebra, called RelView. After a short introduction to the OBDD-implementation of relations and the system, we exhibit its application by presenting two typical examples.

Keywords

  • Boolean Function
  • Maximum Clique
  • Computer Algebra System
  • Relational Algebra
  • Binary Decision Diagram

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
