  abstract =     "This paper discusses the implementation of
                 nearest-neighbour document retrieval in serial files
                 using transputer networks. The system uses a two-stage
                 retrieval algorithm in which an initial text-signature
                 search is used to exclude large numbers of documents
                 from the detailed and time-consuming pattern-matching
                 search. The latter is implemented using a processor
                 farm, so that documents which match at the signature
                 level can be examined in parallel to determine whether
                 they are, in fact, a good match for the query. The
                 results demonstrate that communication is the critical
                 factor in all of the transputer networks that were
                 investigated. A high degree of speed-up can be obtained
                 when only the pattern-matching search is carried out.
                 When text signatures are used, however, the speed-up is
                 less, decreasing in line with an increase in the size
                 of the text signatures that are used.",
