                   Applying Grid Computing Research 
	   to Commercial Information Retrieval Applications


Los Alamos New Mexico-based Deep Web Technologies (DWT) is developing
technology that will replace the search engine powering Science.gov with
a cutting edge Grid-based application. DWT's next-generation search,
retrieval, and analysis technology will advance the state-of-the art of
Distributed Information Retrieval and make possible a new generation of
Grid-based commercial applications. Science.gov is a strategic first
deployment of DWT's new technology as Science.gov is a showcase search
portal for the Federal government; it is a collaborative effort of 12
Federal agencies (the Science.gov Alliance) to share the output of their
best research with the public. The work also helps to unite the CENDI
community, comprised of senior government scientific and technical
information managers. DWT, with US Department of Energy funding, will be
deploying the new technology in October, 2005.


Carl Sylvia, lead architect for DWT's Grid technologies, will present a
technical overview of the company's highly distributed, scalable, and
modular IR framework that will take federated searching and analysis of
deep web content, not easily accessible to Google and other search
engines, to a whole new level. Mr. Sylvia will discuss how the fruits of
the research of the Grid community combined with the support of the
Science.gov Alliance and of CENDI, have proven critical to the
development of the novel architecture needed to power the development
and deployment of commercial next generation Grid-based IR products.
