Diamond, To Go: Opportunistic Use Of Available Resources By Mobile Diamond Clients

The Diamond project is a client-server distributed system enabling interactive search of large, complex, nonindexed datasets using an early-discard strategy. The traditional Diamond system issues a search request from a single client device to one or more servers, which in turn search over their datasets and stream results back to the client. Mobile Diamond enables Diamond searches from resource-limited mobile devices, which suffer from resource limitations such as lack of memory, poor network connectivity, small display and the inability to compile for or execute code on a certain platform that do not hinder normal client devices.
