In cyberspace, the emergence and increasing importance of search engine prompts numerous evaluation studies in regard to its effectiveness. Based on a user-oriented perspective, t...
This paper describes/represents an approach to the design of an information retrieval of providing an search of users. The Next generation of information systems will rely on coll...
This paper proposes a fast AND/OR tree search algorithm using a multiple-paths concurrent search method. Conventional heuristic AND/OR tree search algorithms expand nodes in only ...
We present a simulation model used to evaluate a distributed search engine by modelling its performance. The model is designed to aid performance-driven evolution of the system. W...
