Abstract

We introduce the concept of bisimulation between Datalog goals: two Datalog goals are bisimilar with respect to a given Datalog program when their SLD-trees, considered as relational structures, are bisimilar. We address the problem of deciding whether two given goals are bisimilar with respect to given programs. When the given programs are hierarchical or restricted, this problem is decidable in 2EXPTIME.
