Paradigm 1: Autonomic/Adaptive • Yes we’ve looked at it some, e.g.: • Database design advisors • Adaptive query processing • But we can be more sweeping • Discard configure-compile-run mentality • Embrace run-monitor-adapt-continue • Widely applicable • Traditional query optimization to web-scale information brokering and lots in between
Paradigm 2: Simple Local Decision-Making • Provoked by a theory faculty candidate in distributed algorithms • If each site makes a locally-optimal decision, how far is it from the globally-optimal decision made by a know-it-all centralized site? (Answer: not far) • Forget complicated and expensive distributed protocols • Simple independent decisions are good enough • Especially if you use Paradigm 1 at the same time
