Throughout this chapter, we define structured search overlays along the lines of the definition given in [11], as an overlay network that enforces a predefined ...

We describe an efficient peer-to-peer information retrieval system, pSearch; that supports state-of-the-art content- and semantic-based full-text searches.

A structured overlay network is an architecture where nodes work together to maintain routing information, allowing them to efficiently reach any node in ...

Overlay networks are quickly emerging as the mechanism of choice for introducing new functionality into the Internet.

Structured P2P systems based on distributed hash tables are a popular choice for building large-scaled data man- agement systems.

The hierarchy of structured overlay systems can be utilized in order to provide efficient techniques for processing them, resulting in the support of ...

Apr 7, 2004 · Structured overlays assign keys to data items and build a graph that maps each key to the node that stores the corresponding data. Unstructured ...

We show that keeping the height balanced throughout the overall network – a property called null-balance – will increase search performance considerably.

Structured P2P systems based on distributed hash tables are a popular choice for building large-scaled data management systems. Generally, they only support ...

May 2, 2005 · Structured overlays provide efficient support for simple exact-match queries but they constrain overlay topology to achieve this. Unstructured ...
