Preliminary study of web scouts/foragers for a bioinformatic application: a parallel approach

Author(s): R. L Walker

Abstract:
Adaptive Web scout/forager prototypes for an experimental Search Engine, Tocorime Apicu, based on a biological model and the movement of the sun are being developed using the methodologies of active networks, evolutionary computations, and scientific computing.

This model has built- in mechanisms which allow it to adapt to an ever changing surrounding environment.

This ever changing environment is similar to snapshots of Internet traffic which vary considerably based on 1) the time of day, 2) time zones, 3) various holiday and/or vacation patterns that exists throughout the world, and 4) ever occurring natural disasters.
