- Abstract
- Distributed database design is a difficult and complex task involving two
interdependent problems : data allocation and operation allocation. First,
data must be allocated to nodes in the network. Second, given such an allocation,
data must be efficiently retrieved, processed, and possibly communicated
to meet the retrieval and update requirements of the users. The
problem is characterized by integer variables, a discontinuous and extremely
complex cost function, and numerous constraints. A nested genetic algorithm
naturally fits this problem formulation with the outer algorithm addressing
data allocation and the inner algorithm addressing operation allocation. We
present and characterize such an algorithm according to its gene structure
and control parameters. We experimentally analyze the effects of poolsize
and crossover operator on the performance of our algorithm.
