Scalability Challenges in Web Search Engines
In this book, we aim to provide a fairly comprehensive overview of the scalability and efficiency challenges in large-scale web search engines. More specifically, we cover the issues involved in the design of three separate systems that are commonly available in every web-scale search engine: web crawling, indexing, and query processing systems. We present the performance challenges encountered in these systems and review a wide range of design alternatives employed as solution to these challenges, specifically focusing on algorithmic and architectural optimizations. We discuss the available optimizations at different computational granularities, ranging from a single computer node to a collection of data centers. We provide some hints to both the practitioners and theoreticians involved in the field about the way large-scale web search engines operate and the adopted design choices. Moreover, we survey the efficiency literature, providing pointers to a large number of relatively important research papers. Finally, we discuss some open research problems in the context of search engine efficiency.

String Processing and Information Retrieval
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on String Processing and Information Retrieval, SPIRE 2012, held in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, in October 2012. The 26 full papers, 13 short papers, and 3 keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from 81 submissions. The following topics are covered: fundamentals algorithms in string processing and information retrieval; SP and IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology, DNA sequencing, and Web mining.
Bias and Social Aspects in Search and Recommendation
This book constitutes refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop on Algorithmic Bias in Search and Recommendation, BIAS 2020, held in April, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic BIAS 2020 was held virtually. The 10 full papers and 7 short papers were carefully reviewed and seleced from 44 submissions. The papers cover topics that go from search and recommendation in online dating, education, and social media, over the impact ofgender bias in word embeddings, to tools that allow to explore bias and fairnesson the Web.
Handbook of Planning Support Science
Encompassing a broad range of innovative studies on planning support science, this timely Handbook examines how the consequences of pressing societal challenges can be addressed using computer-based systems. Chapters explore the use of new streams of big and open data as well as data from traditional sources, offering significant critical insights into the field.
