<br/><br/> A partitioning optimizer, implemented Jn microcomputer-based Pascal, is developed  using Taha's simplified version of the widely- us ed Balas' pure- binary integer programming  method known as the Additive Algorithm, to optimize the allocation of databases, application  programs, computers, and communication lines in a distributed infonnation system. The algo rithm is applied on a mathematical model which is formulated based on the constructed model  of Chen and Akoka. The resulting model which is an integer nonlinear programming problem,  is transformed to a pure- binary integer linear programming problem by the Polynomial Reduction Method introduced by Watters.
