In this paper, we present the FOX-MIIRE 3D-Model Search Engine. Our search engine is based on Adaptive Views Vlustering (AVC) algorithm [4]. The AVC method uses statistical model ...
Location-based information contained in publicly available GIS databases is invaluable for many applications such as disaster response, national infrastructure protection, crime a...
The paper presents a study on large-scale automatic extraction of acronyms and associated expansions from Web data and from the user interactions with this data through Web search...
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...
Search engines have become efficient assistants for people to access information on the Web. Some researchers argue that the prevalence of search engines is setting a tough journ...
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...
Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
This paper describes the design of a crawler devised to perform the periodic retrieval of Web documents for a search engine able to accept on-line updates in a concurrent manner. ...
