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...
— For a wide variety of sensor network environments, location information is unavailable or expensive to obtain. We propose a location-free, lightweight, distributed, and data-ce...
This paper presents an efficient parallel information retrieval (IR) system which provides fast information service for the Internet users on lowcost high-performance PC-NOW enviro...
Retrieval accuracy can be improved by considering which document type should be filtered out and which should be ranked higher in the result list. Hence, document type can be used...
In this demonstration paper we present MAPS, a novel system that combines approximate information retrieval and filtering functionality in a peer-to-peer setting. In MAPS, a user...
