IRF conferences wish to bring young researchers into contact with industry at an early stage. This sixth conference aimed to tackle four complementary research areas: information retrieval, machine translations for search solutions, and interactive information access.

This book presents the technical challenges offered by P2P systems, and the means that have been proposed to address them. It provides a single source for practitioners, researchers and students on the state-of-the-art on this subject.

Intellectual property and the patent system in particular have garnered a lot of attention, even in the public media, over the last few years. This monograph is not concerned with any of the controversial issues regarding the patent system itself but it does examine a very real and growing problem: searching for innovation.
