Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
Abstract. This paper proposes and presents a comparison of scheduling algorithms applied to the context of load balancing the query traffic on distributed inverted files. We put em...
We identify crucial design issues in building a distributed inverted index for a large collection of web pages. We introduce a novel pipelining technique for structuring the core ...
The efficient retrieval of data items on set-valued attributes is an important research topic that has attracted little attention so far. We studied and modified four index structu...
We consider a digital library distributed in a tightly coupled environment. The library is indexed by inverted files and the vector space model is used as ranking strategy. Using ...
