Federated text search provides a unified search interface for multiple search engines of distributed text information sources. Resource selection is an important component for fed...
In this paper, we propose an agent-centric approach to resource description and selection in a multiagent information retrieval (IR). In the multiagent system, each agent learns f...
In some retrieval situations, a system must search across multiple collections. This task, referred to as federated search, occurs for example when searching a distributed index o...
This paper experimentally studies approaches to the problem of ranking information resources w.r.t. user queries in peer-to-peer information retrieval. In distributed environments...
Making effective use of computational Grids requires scheduling Grid applications onto resources that best match them. Resource-related state (e.g., load, availability, and locati...
