A hybrid-architecture retrieval system based on Web Services

In this paper, we design and implement a high quality audio material retrieval system in view of the shortcomings of existing professional audio retrieval platforms. The aim of our system is to provide an integrated audio retrieval solution for audio editing staffs. Firstly, for hybrid architecture, the server of the system described in this paper publishes services by Web Services when realizing B/S logical transaction. And the rich client of C/S calls the advertised services to provide Internet audio retrieval and other functions. Then based on this system architecture, we design the retrieval and the other peripheral modules to achieve overall functions of the system. Finally, some performance tests are done to our system.
