An Iterative Method for Distributed Database Design

Summary: Iterative joint optimization of query plans and data placement in distributed DBs, addressing cost dependencies via alternating minimization. Convergence-guided search traverses the joint cost surface, yielding near-optimal total time in simple settings and outperforming baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
