Özet:

 

Algorithms for many complex computations assume that all the  relevant data are available on a single node of a computer network.   In the emerging distributed and networked knowledge environments,  databases relevant for computations may reside on a number of nodes  connected by a communication network. These data resources cannot be  moved to other network sites due to privacy, security, and size  considerations. The desired global computation must be decomposed  into local computations to match the distribution of data across the  network. The capability to decompose computations must be general  enough to handle different distributions of data and different  participating nodes in each instance of the global computation. In  this paper, we present a methodology wherein each distributed data  source is represented by an agent. Each such agent has the capability  to decompose global computations into local parts, for itself and for  agents at other sites. The global computation is then performed by  the agent either exchanging some minimal summaries with other agents  or travelling to all the sites and performing local tasks that can be  done at each local site. The objective is to perform global tasks  with a minimum of communication or travel by participating agents  across the network.
