We study efficient query processing in distributed web search engines with global index organization. The main performance bottleneck in this case is due to the large amount of i...
Finding information in a peer-to-peer system currently requires either a costly and vulnerable central index, or flooding the network with queries. In this paper we introduce the...
Many real-time applications, such as traffic control systems, surveillance systems and health monitoring systems, need to operate on continuous unbounded streams of data. These ap...
—Hybrid P2P systems rely on the assumption that sufficient objects exist nearby in order to make the unstructured search component efficient. This availability depends on the o...
