Abstract

Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks integrate autonomous computing resources without requiring a central coordinating authority, which makes them a potentially robust and scalable model for providing federated search capability to large-scale networks of text digital libraries. However, P2P networks have so far mostly used simple search techniques based on document names or controlled-vocabulary terms, and provided very limited support for full-text search of document contents.
