Abstract

We introduce an architecture for online database services oriented towards consumers. We identify two types of costs-access cost and communication cost. We demonstrate that dynamic allocation of data can minimize these costs. We do so by presenting efficient algorithms based on dynamic allocation; these algorithms optimize access and communication costs for various cost models, access patterns, and retrieval protocols
