  In distributed database (DDB) management systems, fragment allocation is one
of the most important components that can directly affect the performance of
DDB. In this research work, we will show that declarative programming
languages, e.g. logic programming languages, can be used to represent different
data fragment allocation techniques. Results indicate that, using declarative
programming language significantly simplifies the representation of fragment
allocation algorithm, thus opens door for any further developments and
optimizations. The under consideration case study also show that our approach
can be extended to be used in different areas of distributed systems.
