Approaches to collection selection and results merging for distributed information retrieval
CIKM '01: Proceedings of the tenth international conference on Information and knowledge management

We have investigated two major issues in Distributed Information Retrieval (DIR), namely: collection selection and search results merging. While most published works on these two issues are based on pre-stored metadata, the approaches described in this ...
