Web masters usually place certain web pages such as home pages and index pages in front of others. Under such a design, it is necessary to go through some pages to reach the desti...
We are developing an approach for P2P information systems, where the peers are modeled as autonomous agents. Agents provide services or give referrals to one another to help find...

We present a document routing and index partitioning scheme for scalable similarity-based search of documents in a large corpus. We consider the case when similarity-based search ...
Abstract--The Distributed Stochastic Algorithm (DSA), Distributed Breakout Algorithm (DBA), and variations such as Distributed Simulated Annealing (DSAN), MGM-1, and DisPeL, are di...
