چکیده
DEFINITION A distributed database is a database where data management is distributed over several nodes (computers) in a computer network. In a central DBMS the data is managed by one node whereas in a distributed DBMS the data is managed by several nodes. A distributed DBMS is a database manager consisting of several nodes distributed over a network. Each node is a database manager by itself that communicates with other nodes in the network. In a regular distributed DBMS it is up to the database administrator to manually specify how data collections (e.g. relational tables) are distributed over the nodes when a distributed database is designed. Queries and updates to the distributed relations are transparently translated by the distributed DBMS into data operations on the affected nodes giving the user the impression of using a single database, called query and update transparency. Thus the distributed DBMS provides distribution transparency for database users but not for the database administrator.

Distributed database systems, which continue to inspire new architectures and new applications, have great potential in the modern computing world. In this paper, we show that the newly-proposed cloud-dew architecture realizes the potential of distributed database systems in the unreliable network environment, and provides the possibility of websurfing without an Internet connection. Distribute...
متن کاملDistributed-Automata and Simple Test Tube Systems
In classical Formal Language Theory, “centralised” grammar systems and automata were the standard models for computation devices. With the rapid growth of computer networks, distributed databases, etc, distributed computation has begun to play a major role in modern computer science. The theory of grammar systems and distributed-automata was thus developed as a model for distributed computation...
