Abstract

Abstract: We introduce the concept of network graph for distributed query processing. Semijoins and joins are termed contributive replicated semijoins and contributed replicated joins, respectively, when they are interleaved into a join sequence to reduce the amount of data transmission cost required in a network with replicated relations. Our solution procedure consists of three consecutive steps, namely relation selection, join sequence scheduling and merge processing. A simulator is developed to evaluate the performance of algorithms devised. Our results show that the approach of interleaving a join sequence with contributive replicated semijoins/joins is not only efficient in its execution but also effective in reducing the total amount of data transmission cost required to process distributed queries.
