Topic comparison of remote documents using small communication traffic

Abstract

This paper presents a new method for semantic search solutions designed for mobile device environments. The proposed system aims at helping users by searching for documents which have similar topics to the ones stored on the users own device. The search is performed in background continuously and the user is notified if documents worth for downloading were found. The methods proposed in this paper aim at solving this task while maintaining low communication traffic to make them applicable in the mobile device environment.
