Abstract
Search Computing is a new paradigm for composing search services. While state-of-art search systems answer generic or domain-specific queries, Search Computing enables answering questions via a constellation of dynamically selected, cooperating search services, which are correlated by means of join operations. The idea is simple, yet pervasive. New language and description paradigms are required for expressing queries and for connecting services. New user interfaces and protocols help capturing ranking preferences and enabling their refinement.
