The maintenance of global integrity constraints in database federations is still a challenge since traditional integrity constraint management techniques cannot be applied to such ...
Current federated systems deploy cost-based query optimization mechanisms; i.e., the optimizer selects a global query plan with the lowest cost to execute. Thus, cost functions in...
