Abstract
A method for processing a distributed query in a network of computational resources is provided. The method includes receiving a user-defined freshness criterion and a distributed query from a user. The user-defined data freshness criterion is based on the version of the distributed query results desired by the user. An integrated cost model is formulated to optimize the execution of the distributed query. The integrated cost model is based on one or more integrated cost model factors. Thereafter, an objective function is constructed, based on the processing cost for each of the one or more copies of the one or more relations, and a data transmission cost for the transfer of the one or more copies of the one or more relations from a first to a second computational resource. Subsequently, an optimal solution of the objective function is calculated by using one or more heuristic approaches.
