Principal Investigator: Prof.
Michael Stonebraker The Mariposa distributed database management system is an ongoing research project at the University of California at Berkeley.
Mariposa addresses fundamental problems in the
standard approach to distributed data management. We
believe that the underlying assumptions traditionally made
while designing distributed data managers do not apply to
today's wide-area network (WAN) environments.
Mariposa allows DBMSs which are far apart and under

queries, by means of an economic paradigm in which
processing sites buy and sell data and query processing
services. Mariposa has been designed with the following
principles in mind:

This version is available for download.   Further releases will add features and improve performance. The Mariposa project is sponsored by the Army Research Office (ARO) under grant FDDAAH04-94-G-0223 and the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) under grant DABT63-92-C-007.
