Abstract

Data integration, in the context of the web, faces new problems, due in particular to the heterogeneity of sources, to the fragmentation of the information and to the absence of a unique way to structure, and view information. In such areas, the traditional paradigms on which database foundations are based (i.e. client/server architecture, few sources containing large information) have to be overcome by new architectures. In this paper we propose a layered P2P architecture for mediator systems. Peers are information nodes which are coordinated by a multi-agent system in order to allow distributed query processing.
