Multi-Objective Resource Selection in Distributed Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a Distributed Information Retrieval system, a user submits a query to a broker, which determines how to yield a given number of documents from all possible resource servers. In this paper, we propose a multi-objective model for this resource selection task. In this model, four aspects are considered simultaneously in the choice of the resource: document’s relevance to the given query, time, monetary cost, and similarity between resources. An optimized solution is achieved by comparing the performances of all possible candidates. Some variations of the basic model are also given, which improve the basic model’s efficiency.

Distributed Information Retrieval: A Multi-Objective Resource Selection Approach
Information retrieval is becoming increasingly concerned with resource selection and data fusion for distributed archives. In distributed information retrieval, a user submits a query to a broker, which determines a solution for how to yield a given number of documents from all available resources. In this paper, we present a multi-objective model for resource selection, in which four aspects: ...
متن کاملExperience-Based Resource Description and Selection in Multiagent Information Retrieval
In this paper, we propose an agent-centric approach to resource description and selection in a multiagent information retrieval (IR). In the multiagent system, each agent learns from its experience through its interactions with other agents their capabilities and qualifications. Based on a distributed ontology learning framework, our methodology allows an agent to profile other agents in a dyna...

In this paper, we propose a multiagent information retrieval strategy in which, each agent learns from its experience through its interactions with other agents their capabilities and qualifications. Based on a distributed ontology learning framework, our methodology allows an agent to profile other agents in a dynamic translation table and a neighborhood profile, which together help determine ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Database Size Distribution on Resource Selection Algorithms
Resource selection is an important topic in distributed information retrieval research. It can be a component of a distributed information retrieval task and can also serve as an independent application of database recommendation system together with the resource representation part. There is a large body of valuable prior research on resource selection but very little has studied about the eff...
متن کاملMulti-objective and Scalable Heuristic Algorithm for Workflow Task Scheduling in Utility Grids
To use services transparently in a distributed environment, the Utility Grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. The parameters of the Quality of Service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the Utility Grids. Optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one an...
