Retrieval Using Ordered Lists In Inverted And Multilist Files
Summary: Retrieval using ordered lists in inverted and multilist files. Develops efficient algorithms to determine exactly the records that satisfy Boolean expressions over lists by exploiting ordered lists and a trace function that iteratively selects the next candidate.
