MacFarlane, A., Robertson, S. E. & McCann, J. A. (1997). Parallel computing in information retrieval - An updated review. Journal of Documentation, 53(3), pp. 274-315. doi: 10.1108/eum0000000007201

Abstract

The progress of parallel computing in Information Retrieval (IR) is reviewed. In particular we stress the importance of the motivation in using parallel computing for Text Retrieval. We analyse parallel IR systems using a classification due to Rasmussen [1] and describe some parallel IR systems. We give a description of the retrieval models used in parallel Information Processing.. We describe areas of research which we believe are needed.
