This book frames a peer-to-peer information retrieval problem as a multi-agent framework and attacks it from an organizational perspective by exploring various adaptive, self-organizing topological organizations, designing appropriate coordination strategies, and exploiting learning techniques to create more accurate routing policy for large-scale agent organizations. In addition, a reinforcement-learning based approach is developed in this thesis to take advantage of the run-time characteristics of P2P IR systems, including environmental parameters, bandwidth usage, and historical...
