Measuring experienced utility of information retrieval systems: Experimental approach

A Systems Approach to Information Technology (IT) Infrastructure Design for Utility Management Automation Systems

Almost all of electric utility companies are planning to improve their management automation system, in order to meet the changing requirements of new liberalized energy market and to benefit from the innovations in information and communication technology (ICT or IT). Architectural design of the utility management automation (UMA) systems for their IT-enabling requires proper selection of ...

a cybernetic approach to information storage and retrieval systems

purpose: libraries and information centers as information storage and retrieval systems can develop with the adoption of cybernetics rules. this paper discusses system dynamics, control, feedback, and other cybernetic concepts especially in information storage and retrieval systems. methodology: this study is a review intending to find what cybernetics and lis have in common especially in the f...

Information Retrieval Systems: A Human Centered Approach

In this article a human centered approach for Information Retrieval IR systems is offered. The focus of this article is on human users of IR systems, who are given the opportunity to offer enhanced relevance feedback. A novel approach is offered to capture the back-propagated feedback of human users during IR sessions. According to this approach the IR system is developed to accept human bidire...

Experimental components for the evaluation of interactive information retrieval systems

This paper presents a set of basic components which constitutes the experimental setting intended for the evaluation of interactive information retrieval (IIR) systems, the aim of which is to facilitate evaluation of IIR systems in a way which is as close as possible to realistic IR processes. The experimental setting consists of three components: (1) the involvement of potential users as test ...
