description

This paper presents an original approach to image sharing in large, distributed digital libraries, in which a user is able to interactively search interesting resources by means of content-based image retrieval techniques. The approach described here addresses the issues arising when the content is managed through a peer-to-peer architecture. In this case, the retrieval facilities are likely to be limited to queries based on unique identifiers or small sets of keywords, which may be quite inadequate, so we propose a novel algorithm for routing user queries that exploits compact representations of multimedia resources shared by each peer in order to dynamically adapt the network topology to peer interests on the basis of query interactions among users.
