基于P2P的Web搜索技术

Web搜索引擎已经成为人们从海量Web信息中快速找到所需信息的重要工具,随着Web数据量的爆炸性增长,传统的集中式搜索引擎已经越来越不能满足人们不断增长的信息获取需求.随着对等网络(peer-to-peer,简称P2P)技术的快速发展,人们提出了基于P2P的Web搜索技术并迅速成为研究热点.研究的目的是对现有的基于P2P的Web搜索技术进行总结,以期为进一步研究指明方向.首先分析了基于P2P的Web搜索面临的诸多挑战;然后重点总结分析了基于P2P的Web搜索的各项关键技术的研究现状,包括系统拓扑结构、数据存放策略、查询路由机制、索引切分策略、数据集选择、相关性排序、网页收集方法等;最后对已有的3个较有特色的基于P2P的Web搜索原型系统进行了介绍.

P2P Web Search Technology

Web search engine has become a very important tool for finding information efficiently from the massive Web data.With the explosive growth of the Web data,traditional centralized search engines become harder to catch up with the growing step of people's information needs.With the rapid development of peer-to-peer(P2P) technology,the notion of P2P Web search has been proposed and quickly becomes a research focus.The goal of this paper is to give a brief summary of current P2P Web search technologies in order to facilitate future research.First, some main challenges for P2P Web search are presented.Then,key techniques for building a feasible and efficient P2P Web search engine are reviewed,including system topology,data placement,query routing,index partitioning, collection selection,relevance ranking and Web crawling.Finally,three recently proposed novel P2P Web search prototypes are introduced.
