Chapter 4
Information Aggregation in an Enterprise
Erwin Gunadi and Sahin Albayrak
Abstract
In this chapter we discuss the application of a distributed information
retrieval system in an enterprise environment. Focusing on the characteristics of
information in enterprises such as the heterogeneity of available information, secu-
rity policies, and the distributed nature of available data repositories we investigate
how state-of-the-art distributed information retrieval approaches can be applied to
build a distributed information retrieval system. Introducing a case study, we present
an application of these techniques in an office environment that allows employees to
find the most relevant documents across different data repositories without neglect-
ing access rights. The application illustrates the advantages of using a multi-agent
software infrastructure where individual components of such retrieval engine are
realized by specific software agents.

Also, please let me know which forms I need to fill in to receive a permit to start with the
conversation of the building. Furthermore, please point me to the appropriate funds that I
can apply for…
