Dear all,
Just to wrap up my personal interest in this work:
We are currently working on an EU project which shall eventually rely
on distributed RDF stores for service communication, where this work
would fit, and I could imagine fruitful cross-fertilization:
http://www.tripcom.org
Particularly, I am personally interested in the connection SPARQL &
Rules, being a member of the RIF WG.
We briefly talked about optimizing distributed query plans and I
promised to send some pointers on this.
The work which might be relevant/interesting here is:
José Luis Ambite, Craig A. Knoblock. Flexible and Scalable Query
Planning in Distributed and Heterogeneous Environments. AIPS 1998.
These people also gave a full-day tutorial on this topic at ICAPS 2004:

This is a very interesting topic, particularly describing e.g. local
completeness of a source on particular information etc., see above
links, which can be exploited for query plan generation. I plan to
investigate whether how the described techniques allow for easy adoption
in large scale web environment.
best,
