ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: (1) to present a methodological
framework for the design of database architectures in a distributed
database environment, and (2) to provide support for the Defense Information
Systems Agency's (DISA) guidelines in the segmentation of databases
for use by DoD systems and programs. The first problem considered addresses
design options in the partitioning of a single large database into multiple,
smaller database segments. The second problem considers multiple data
sources and determines a preferred subset of these to form a single,
composite database while satisfying requirements and multiple criteria.
The structured approach considered here is that of non-linear, zero-one
mathematical programming (MP) to yield insight into the choice of designs
possible given a set of system requirements and criteria.
