Abstract

The paper investigates the logic of database transformations based on abstract metafinite state machines. We first introduce a structure model that separates a metafinite state into database and algorithmic spaces with bridge functions providing a connection between them. Then abstract metafinite state machines are developed on top of metafinite states equipped with two kinds of updates: exclusive updates and aggregate updates. In order to characterize both static and dynamic aspects of abstract metafinite state machines, we present a logic which supports reasoning about the side effects of exclusive and aggregate updates in update multisets occurring over database transformations.
