VANCOUVER, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Deep Web Technologies, a next-generation federated search company, is presenting a poster today at the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T) annual conference held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from November 6 to 11, 2009.

The poster, entitled "An Architecture for Scaling Federated Search" will be presented by Andy Alsop, Vice President of Business Development. "Deep Web Technologies is focused on pushing the limits of federated search," said Alsop. "We're researching effective ways to federate thousands of information sources in parallel, leading to improved cross-fertilization of ideas and acceleration of scientific discovery."

The poster highlights ScienceResearch.com, a portal that Deep Web Technologies launched in June of this year, which searches more science (almost 400 sources at one time) than any other publicly searchable scientific portal in the world. ScienceResearch.com demonstrates the viability of the divide-and-conquer approach presented in the poster. The portal provides a single point of access to a number of high-value federated search portals such as Science.gov, Mednar.com, and WorldWideScience.org in addition to hundreds of other sources.

The ASIS&T conference will showcase presentations on a variety of subjects promoting the meeting theme: "Thriving on Diversity - Information Opportunities in a Pluralistic World." Deep Web Technologies' poster can be viewed at the conference from 8:00AM to 12:00PM Monday, November 9, 2009. The poster and supporting information is online at http://www.deepwebtech.com/scalablesearch/.
