We investigate three methods for defining a session on Web search engines. We examine 2,465,145 interactions from 534,507 Web searchers. We compare defining sessions using: 1) Int...
This paper introduces GSSS (Genetic State-Space Search). The integration of two general search paradigms — genetic search and state-space-search provides a general framework whi...
This paper studies the following question: given an instance of the propositional satisfiability problem, a randomized satisfiability solver, and a cluster of n computers, what i...
Optimizing and focusing search and results ranking in P2P networks becomes more and more important with the increasing size of these networks. Even though a few approaches have al...

A hybrid algorithm is devised to boost the performance of complete search on under-constrained problems. We suggest to use random variable selection in combination with restarts, ...
