- Jamie Callan, N. Fuhr, W. Nejdl. 2004. Proceedings of the SIGIR Workshop on Peer-to-Peer Information Retrieval, 27th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference, July 29, 2004, Sheffield, UK. Abstract: We study the problem of distributed resource sharing in wide-area networks such as the Internet and the Web. The architecture that we envision supports both query and publish/subscribe functionality using data models and languages from Information Retrieval. We propose to approach this problem using ideas from self-organized overlay networks and especially distributed hash tables like Chord. This paper concentrates only on how to offer the envisaged publish/subscribe functionality and discusses our on-going work.
