Distributed database design: a practical approach and example
Toby J. Teorey · ACM SIGMOD Record · 1989
A distributed database design problem is presented that involves the development of a global model, a fragmentation, and a data allocation. The student is given a conceptual entity-relationship model for the database and a description of the transactions and a generic network environment. A stepwise solution approach to this problem is shown, based on mean value assumptions about workload and service.
