Exploiting locality for scalable information retrieval in peer-to-peer networks
(2005)An important problem in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is the efficient content-based retrieval of documents shared by other peers. However, existing searching mechanisms are not scaling well because they are ...

Finding the K highest-ranked answers in a distributed network
(2009)In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding the k highest-ranked (or Top-k) answers in a distributed network. A Top-K query returns the subset of most relevant answers, in place of all answers, for two reasons: (i) ...

A local search mechanism for peer-to-peer networks
(2002)One important problem in peer-to-peer (P2P) networks is searching and retrieving the correct information. However, existing searching mechanisms in pure peer-to-peer networks are inefficient due to the decentralized nature ...

On constructing internet-scale P2P information retrieval systems
(2005)We initiate a study on the effect of the network topology on the performance of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) information retrieval systems. The emerging P2P model has become a very powerful and attractive paradigm for developing ...
