P2P Content-Based Query Routing Using Firework Query Model

Clustering technique is used in database and informa-tion retrieval system for organizing data and improv-ing retrieval eciency. We surmise such functionality is valuable to a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) distributed environ-ment. In this paper, we introduce the concept of peer clustering at the level of overlaying network topology, and content-based query routing strategy to improve existing retrieval methods. We design and implement a DIStributed COntent-based Visual Information Re-trieval (DISCOVIR) system with content-based query functionality and improved query eciency. We demon-strate its scalability and eciency through simulation.
