The paper investigates the relative expressiveness of two logic-based languages for reasoning over streams, namely LARS Programs - the language of the Logic-based framework for Analytic Reasoning over Streams called LARS - and LDSR - the language of the recent extension of the I-DLV system for stream reasoning called I-DLV-sr. Although these two languages build over Datalog, they do differ both in syntax and semantics. To reconcile their expressive capabilities for stream reasoning, we define a comparison framework that allows us to show that, without any restrictions, the two languages are incomparable and to identify fragments of each language that can be expressed via the other one.

Abstract
The paper investigates the relative expressiveness of two logic-based languages for reasoning over streams, namely LARS Programs - the language of the Logic-based framework for Analytic Reasoning over Streams called LARS - and LDSR - the language of the recent extension of the I-DLV system for stream reasoning called I-DLV-sr. Although these two languages build over Datalog, they do differ both in syntax and semantics. To reconcile their expressive capabilities for stream reasoning, we define a comparison framework that allows us to show that, without any restrictions, the two languages are incomparable and to identify fragments of each language that can be expressed via the other one.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
