Abstract:
In software component repositories, search engines have to deal with challenges related to storage space requirements for indexing semi-structured data models, which are adopted for representing syntactic and semantic features of software assets. In such a context, clustering techniques seem to be attractive for reducing the number of assets in a repository, and so, the size of index files. Accordingly, this paper proposes and evaluates a distributed clustering approach for large-scale, distributed software component repositories. Based on experiments, outcomes indicate relevant gains in storage space requirements for index files.
