Dispersed Databases
Characteristics of dispersed databases:
- very large numbers of small processing nodes
- data is distributed/shared among nodes
Applications: environmental monitoring devices, "intelligent dust", ...
Research issues:
- query/search strategies
(how to organise query processing)
- distribution of data
(trade-off between centralised and diffused)
Less extreme versions of this already exist:
- grid and cloud computing
- database management for mobile devices
