An Optimal File Allocation Policy in a Networked Database Management System
Debashis Saha, Amitava Mukherjee · International Journal of Network Management · 1994
Abstract Optimal file allocation has been shown to be effective in reducing the average transaction processing time in a database system built upon a computer communications network. This paper investigates the use of a networked computing system to distribute files and to manage the system in an optimal fashion so as to minimize the sum of file storage and internode file transfer cost.
