The proposed system, COSMOS, distinguishes itself by its loose coupling and communication efficiency. To exploit the sharing of data transfer incurred by different queries and to break the tight coupling of the distributed nodes, a new communication paradigm, content-based network, is employed. We discuss the design and the challenges of this system.NCCR-MICSNCCR-MICS/CL4text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
