ABSTRACT:: We describe the design of Mariposa, an experimental 
distributed data management system that provides high performance 
in an environment of high data mobility and heterogeneous host 
capabilities. The Mariposa provides a general, flexible platform
for the development of new algorithms for distributed query 
optimization, storage management, and scalable data storage
structures. This flexibility is primarily due to a unique rule-
based design that permits autonomous, local-knowledge decisions
to be made regarding data placement, query execution location,
and storage management.
