A Distributed Object Based Design Technique

Distributed relational databases beneet greatly from fragmentation and allocation and these beneets should be realized in a distributed object environment. Fragmentation enhances application performance by reducing the amount of irrelevant data accessed and the amount of data transferred unnecessarily between distributed sites. This paper presents a review of early work on distributed database design, some existing object based systems including distributed object based systems. The paper nally proposes a technique for horizontally fragmenting some class models in a distributed object based system.
