ACM Computing Surveys (CSUR), 1990•dl.acm.orgA federated database system (FDBS) is a collection of cooperating database systems that
are autonomous and possibly heterogeneous. In this paper, we define a reference
architecture for distributed database management systems from system and schema
viewpoints and show how various FDBS architectures can be developed. We then define a
methodology for developing one of the popular architectures of an FDBS. Finally, we discuss
critical issues related to developing and operating an FDBS.
