Small World Peer Networks in Distributed Web Search

Small World Peer Networks in Distributed Web Search- By Ruj Akavipat, Le-Shin Wu and Filippo Menczer. Collaborative peer network applications offer a possible solution for the scalability limitations of centralized search engines. The authors suggest to use a local adaptive routing algorithm to dynamically change the topology of the peer network based on a learning scheme driven by query response interactions among neighbors. ODP data are used to model simulated users.
