Abstract:

I would like to thank John Schultz for all his help. As a friend and colleague he helped me in countless ways whether he knew it or not. He is the co-creator of HyperDog and implementer of the LinkServers. I look forward to our continued adventures. I am very grateful to my advisor Dr. Yair Amir for his faith in me and his support along this path. He has created a very precious thing at the Center for Networking and Distributed Systems that I am proud to be associated will and will always be grateful for. I would like to thank all the people at the Center for Networking and Distributed Systems; John Schultz, Jonathan Stanton, Theo Schlossnagle, Cristina Nita-Rotaru, Claudiu Danilov, Ryan Borgstrom, and Dr. Baruch Awerbuch. They were a wealth of talent to bounce my crazy ideas off and I enjoyed the atmosphere and friendships we shared. I would like to thank Dr. Mike Goodrich who helped expose me to the problems of current systems in the crawling and search communities. He was very helpful in bouncing ideas off while this work was being formulated. I would like to thank my father Dr. Bernard Green for his love, support, and commitment to education. It was he who insisted I take a "computer " course when I got to college. I would like to thank my mother Dr. Mary K. Green who passed away during the construction of this work. Her love, support, and perpetual interest in whatever I was doing will be missed. I am grateful to Elyssa Back for her friendship and the summer that got me started on this area. Finally I need to thank Jeffery LaSalle, my rock that reminds me of things outside of my education and career.
