Query-Driven Indexing for Scalable Peer-to-Peer Text Retrieval

Karl Aberer, Martin Rajman, Vinh Toan Luu, Ivana Podnar, Gleb Skobeltsyn

In this paper, we present a query-driven indexing/retrieval strategy for efficient full text retrieval from large document collections distributed within a structured P2P network. Our indexing strategy is based on two important properties: (1) the generate ...
