An Iterative Method for Distributed Database Design
Summary: Introduces an integrated heuristic for distributed database design that alternates minimum-cost query optimization and data allocation. Iteration converges to a joint local minimum and empirically approaches optimal total-time and response-cost solutions, outperforming isolated alternatives.
