Adaptive networks of smart objects
Johan Bollen, Michael L. Nelson · 2003
We propose the implementation of a distributed system for DL storage and retrieval which relies on two earlier developed technologies: buckets and document linking base on user retrieval patterns. Buckets are expanded with a mechanism to keep track of weighted bucket relations. Each bucket keeps track of its connections to other related buckets. A mechanism is put in place which allows buckets to change their connections to other buckets according to the registration of bucket retrieval patterns issued by users. The collection of buckets thereby dynamically updates its link structure according to user retrieval patterns.
