In this survey chapter,we discuss adaptive query processing (AdQP) techniques for distributed environments. We also investigate the issues involved in extending AdQP techniques originally proposed for single-node processing so that they become applicable to multi-node environments as well. In order to make it easier for the reader to understand the similarities among the various proposals, we adopt a common framework, which decomposes the adaptivity loop into the monitoring, analysis, planning and actuation (or execution) phase. The main distributed AdQP techniques developed so far tend to differ significantly from their centralized counterparts, both in their objectives and in their focus. The objectives in distributed AdQP are more tailored to distributed settings, whereas more attention is paid to issues relating to the adaptivity cost, which is significant, especially when operators and data are moved over the network.
