چکیده

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of distributed and peer-to-peer information retrieval systems. A new measure is introduced that compares results of a distributed retrieval system to those of a centralised system, fully exploiting the ranking of the latter as an indicator of gradual relevance. Problems with existing evaluation approaches are verified experimentally.

Towards Evaluation of Peer-to-Peer-based Distributed Information Management Systems

Distributed knowledge management systems (DKMS) have been suggested to meet the requirements of today’s knowledge management. Peer-to-peer systems offer technical foundations for such distributed systems. To estimate the value of P2P-based knowledge management evaluation criteria that measure the performance of such DKMS are required. We suggest a concise framework for evaluation of such system...
