General-purpose search engines such as AltaVista and Lycos are notorious for returning irrelevant results in response to user queries. Consequently, thousands of specialized, topi...
Graph sub-isomorphism is a very common approach to solving pattern search problems, but this is a NP-complete problem. This way, it is necessary to invest in research of approxima...
A challenge in hybrid evolutionary algorithms is to define efficient strategies to cover all search space, applying local search only in actually promising search areas. This pape...
— We study hybrid search schemes for unstructured peer-to-peer networks. We quantify performance in terms of number of hits, network overhead, and response time. Our schemes comb...
We investigate the effect of search engine brand (i.e., the identifying name or logo that distinguishes a product from its competitors) on evaluation of system performance. This r...
