Abstract

Search Computing (SeCo) is a project funded by the European Research Council (ERC). It focuses on building the answers to complex search queries like "Where can I attend an interesting conference in my field close to a sunny beach?" by interacting with a constellation of cooperating search services, using ranking and joining of results as the dominant factors for service composition. SeCo started on November 2008 and will last 5 years. This paper will give a general introduction to the Search Computing approach and then focus on its query optimization and execution engine, the aspect of the project which is most tightly related to "objects and databases" technologies.
