ABSTRACT::  In this paper we explore query execution and 
storage management issues for Mariposa, a distributed data
base system under construction at Berkeley. Because of the
extreme complexity of both issues, we have adopted an under-
lying economic paradigm for both problems. Hence, queries
receive a budget which they spend to obtain their answers,
and each processing site attempts to maximize income by 
buying and selling storage objects and processing queries for
locally stored objects. This paper presents the protocols 
which underlie this economic system.
