Abstract

The attention received by query optimization is constantly growing, but efficiently reasoning over natively distributed data is still an open issue. Three main problems must be faced in this context: (i) rules to be processed may contain many atoms and may involve complex joins among them; (ii) the original distribution of input data is a fact and must be considered in the optimization process; (iii) the integration of the reasoning engine with DBMSs must be tight enough to allow efficient interactions but general enough to avoid limitations in kind and location of databases. This paper provides an optimization strategy based on structural analysis facing these issues.
