    <event:abstract><![CDATA[Peer-to-Peer computing paradigm may provide a solution to
the retrieval problem in an ever burgeoning volume of online
and digital information. While research has focused on the
means of collaboration as a tool for query routing, we feel
that there is a disconnect in the way P2P networks are
handled and the expectations of performance in the real
world. In the proposed work, we discuss the needs for an
information need sensitive query routing methodology that
can provide for effective and efficient search results. We
investigate the producer-consumer model of information
exchange to facilitate active metadata placement
methodologies. The metadata placement methodologies are a
dual to the larger query routing problem and effective
placement lends itself to effective query routing in P2P
networks. We also investigate an architecture for a P2P
search network that is built atop a semi-structured overlay
network. We discuss the motivations for such functional
connectivity in the context of large scale information
dissemination in decentralized environments. Finally, we
present the case for effective web search to augment the
current centralized search model with the proposed P2P
model.]]></event:abstract>
