  • Abstract
    A special schema is constructed to represent the data of a binary relation so that the transitive closure can be evaluated efficiently in distributed database systems. The method is economical in communication cost and at the same time preserves the fast access paths for efficient parallel processing of transitive closure at local sites. Updating of data is also discussed.<>
