Abstract / Description of output
Federated search engines constitute a new class of search
computing paradigms whereby a multi–domain query is decomposed
in a number of single–domain queries, each one
addressed by a domain–specific content service provider.
The paradigm provides a number of advantages, in particular
the possibility to discover more pertinent information by
scouring the deep Web and to find automatically correlations
among the service providers’ results. In our work, we focus
on the design of a revenue mechanism for such paradigm.
This task, although being of extraordinary importance, has
not received enough attention in the literature so far. In
particular, in this paper we describe a revenue mechanism in
terms of business model, specifying who pays and when, and
microeconomic model, specifying how the optimal payment
can be computed. Futhermore, we discuss its properties.
