The study attempts to propose a distributed bibliographic information retrieval system using distributed retrieval servers and distributed databases. CORBA and JAVA applications have been employed to solve both the bottleneck and the problems that simultaneous searches in distributed databases cannot deal with under the CGI or JAVA applications. The proposed distributed bibliographic retrieval system using two distributed servers with their distributed databases was successfully experimented. However, it is recommended that both heterogeneous information retrieval systems and databases are included in further studies.

The concept based retrieval model has shown a higher performance than those of the simple matching function method or the P-norm retrieval method introduced to compensate the demerits of the Boolean retrieval model. However. it takes too long to create a semantic-net knowledge base, which is essential in concept exploration. In order to solve such demerits. a method was sought out by creating a distributed knowledge base by subjects to reduce construction time without hindering the performance of retrieval.

We focus on the mobile agents which are considered as new paradigm to solve information retrieval of large volumes of data in the distributed and heterogeneous environment. The mobile agent moves the computation to data instead of large volumes of data to computations. In this paper, we propose an information retrieval model, which can effectively search data in the distributed and heterogeneous environment, using mobile agents. Our model is applied to the design and implementation of an Q&A(Question and Answer) retrieval system. Our Q&A retrieval system, called QASSMA(Q&A Search System using Mobile Agents), uses mobile agents to retrieve articles from Q&A boards and newsgroups that exist in the heterogeneous and distributed environment. QASSMA has the following features and advantages. First, the mobile retrieval agent moves to the destination server to retrieve articles to reduce the retrieval time by eliminating data traffics from the server to the client host. Also it can reduce the traffic that was occurred in the centralized network system, and reduce the usage of resources by sending its agent and running in the destination host. Finally, the mobile retrieval agent of QASSMA can add and update dynamically the class file according to its retrieval environment, and support other retrieval manner. In this paper, we have shown that our Q&A retrieval system using mobile agents is more efficient than the retrieval system using static agents by our experiments.

Traditional cloud computing faces some challenges such as huge energy consumption, network delay and single point of failure. Edge computing is a typical distributed processing platform which includes multiple edge servers closer to the users, thus is more robust and can provide real-time computing services. Although outsourcing data to edge servers can bring great convenience, it also brings serious security threats. In order to provide image retrieval while ensuring users' data privacy, a privacy preserving image retrieval scheme in edge environment is proposed. Considering the distributed characteristics of edge computing environment and the requirement for lightweight computing, we present a privacy-preserving image retrieval scheme in edge computing environment, which two or more "honest but curious" servers retrieve the image quickly and accurately without divulging the image content. Compared with other traditional schemes, the scheme consumes less computing resources and has higher computing efficiency, which is more suitable for resource-constrained edge computing environment. Experimental results show the algorithm has high security, retrieval accuracy and efficiency.

The distributed Information Retrieval System centrally controlled by mediator or meta search engine result in congestion of heavy traffic and int he problem of increment of cost for the reason of the design of complicated algorithm for central control and installation of hardware. So to figure out this problem, the way is needed that has independent retrieval functionality and can cooperate each other without dependency. In this paper, we overview a few works involved in distributed information retrieval system, then, implement algorithm and design the frame-work of distributed information retrieval system using sequential transferring method(STM) including multiple information retrieval system separated from central control. For this first of all, we present a web partition policy which devide and manage web logically and we present the sequential query processing way by means of illustration through changing numbered information retrieval system. Then, we also present 3-layered structure of framework and function and module of each layer suitable for information retrieval system. Last of ail, for effective implementation of STM algorithm we analysis module structure and present description of pseudocode of this, and show that the proposed STM algorithm works smoothly by demonstration of sequential query transfer process between servers.

Indexing techniques for distributed resources have much effect on an information service system based on distributed environment like digital library. There is a centralized indexing technique, a distributed technique, and a mixed technique for distributed indexing techniques. In this paper, we propose new distributed indexing technique using EIF(extended Inverted File) structure that mix the centralized technique and t도 distributed technique. And we propose management techniques using EIF structure and retrieval technique using EIF structure. This distributed indexing technique proposed is able to fast process retrieval request and reduce network overload and select servers relevant to query terms. This paper investigated performance of a proposed distributed indexing technique.

In this paper, we describe a new method for selecting information sources in a distributed environment. Recently, there has been much research on distributed information retrieval, that is information retrieval (IR) based on a multi-database model in which the existence of multiple sources is modeled explicitly. In distributed IR, a method is needed that would enable selecting appropriate sources for users\` queries. Most existing methods use statistical data such as document frequency. These methods may select inappropriate ate sources if a query contains polysemous words. In this paper, we describe an information-source selection method using two types of thesaurus. One is a thesaurus automatically constructed from documents in a source. The other is a hand-crafted general-purpose thesaurus(e.g. WordNet). Terms used in documents in a source differ from one another and the meanings of a term differ depending on th situation in which the term is used. The difference is a characteristic of the source. In our method, the meanings of a term are distinguished between by the relationship between the term and other terms, and the relationship appear in the co-occurrence-based thesaurus. In this paper, we describe an algorithm for evaluating a usefulness of a source for a query based on a thesaurus. For a practical application of our method, we have developed Papits, a multi-agent-based in formation sharing system. An experiment of selection shows that our method is effective for selecting appropriate sources.

This paper proposed a system collecting image information by agents in multi-threaded environment and then retrieving them with content based image retrieval. This system uses multi threads to retrieve web information effectively, then improves efficiency of CPU cycles to reduce latency time, which is the time requesting queries, executing communication processing 4hat the retrieval agents perform and filtering the retrieval results. Also, the agents for image retrieval use Java language, which is platform independent, to be suitable for distributed environment. Using JDBC to save the retrieved images, the agents are connected to database. The images themselves are stored in distributed agents' databases, and only the image indexes are stored in an index server so that the efficiency of storage and retrieval time can be improved.

This study proposes an integration model of information retrieval systems using a standard distributed object computing technology in digital library environments. In the proposed integration model called DDIRIORB, the middleware broker based on CORBA is designed for the transparent access to the distributed information repositories and the consistent view of the information retrieval by applying 239.50 protocol. The DDIRIORB is an adaptable open architecture that allows for the following benefits : bibliographic and abstract information retrieval simultaneously, interoperability between application servers and clients, consistent view of search results, complexity reduction of integration interfaces, and easy to use.
