ASGOP: An aggregated similarity-based greedy-oriented approach for relational DDBSs design.

In the literature of distributed database system (DDBS), several methods sought to meet the satisfactory reduction on transmission cost (TC) and were seen substantially effective. Data Fragmentation, site clustering, and data distribution have been considered the major leading TC-mitigating influencers. Sites clustering, on one hand, aims at grouping sites appropriately according to certain similarity metrics.
