Construire un moteur d'indexation

We present here an indexing engine which is covered by a technology transfer agreement between the University and the private sector. This engine is currently included in various applications used by international organizations. The document collections which are indexed are large and multilingual. The particular elements of the technical specifications are the starting pint of our analysis; then we look at the design and technology choices made to meet the performance and volume constraints. The optimal use of memory, calculations and storage resources is discussed. The serialization and parallelization of processes are analyzed.
