Effect of Tunable Indexing on Term Distribution and Cluster-based Information Retrieval Performance
(1997-01-01)The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of tunable indexing on the structure and information retrieval performance of a clustered document database. The generation of all cluster structures and calculation ... -
Effectiveness Assessment of the Cover Coefficient Based Clustering Methodology
An algorithm for document clustering is introduced. The basic concept of the algorithm, Cover Coefficient (CC) concept, provides means of estimating the number of clusters within a document database and relates indexing ... -
An Empirical Investigation of Four Strategies for Serializing Schedules in Transaction Processing
(1992-12-01)A database management system (DBMS) is a very large program that allows users to create and maintain databases. A DBMS has many capabilities. This study will focus on the capability known as transaction management, the ... -
Evaluating Market Conditions: A simplified Approach for Analyzing Stock Price Activity
(2003-05-01)To simplify the process of determining which actions an investor should take, all application that provides a list of trade to be placed each morning was designed. Because the application gives signals on the long and the ... -
Experimental Evaluation of the Cleanroom Software Development Method
(1992-03-01)The field of software engineering is evolving as various new techniques, languages, paradigms, process models, methodologies, metrics etc., are constantly being developed, used and improved. In the past, several empirical ... -
Experiments on Incremental Clustering
(1991-08-01)Clustering of very large document databases is essential to reduce the spacehime complexity of information retrieval. The periodic updating of clusters is required due to the dynamic nature of databases. An algorithm for ... -
Experiments on the Efficiency of Cluster Searches
(1991-03-01)The efficiency of various cluster based retrieval (CBR) strategies is analyzed. The possibility of combining CBR and inverted index search (11s) is investigated. A method for combining the two approaches is proposed and ... -
Experiments on Tunable Indexing
(1988-04-01)The effectiveness and efficiency of an Information Retrieval (IR) system depends on the quality of its indexing system. Indexing con be used in inverted file systemsor in cluster-based retrieval. In this article, new concept ... -
An Expert System Shell Performing the Generic Task of Hierarchical Classification
(1993-01-01)Any expert system shell that performs with the generic task of hierarchical classificiation must deal explicitly with the issues of knowledge representations, control strategies, inductive learning, and ways of handling ... -
The Graduate Student Advisor (GSA): An Expert System for SAN Graduate Student Advising
(1992-12-01)The Graduate Student Advisor (GSA) is an experimental expert system that advises graduate students in systems analysis. It simulates a faculty advisor in suggesting the schedule of courses a student should take based on ... -
Graphical Programming of Simulation Models in an Object-Oriented Environment
(1988-07-01)Graphical programming has been used in conjunction with conventional simulation languages via block diagrams or activity networks. Its beneficial effects on programming and modeling in simulation have been accepted by ... -
Graphical User Interface Environment for Developing Workcell Control Programs
(1995-07-01)A forms-based development environment for writing manufacturing workcell programs is described. The environment is a Microsoft Windows application that allows a programmer to describe a sequence of operations and associated ... -
HypIR: Hypertext Based Information Retrieval
(1992-08-01)Information Retrieval (IR), which is also known as text or document retrieval, is the process of locating and retrieving docri)nents that are relevant to the user queries. In hypertext environments, docuinent databases are ... -
Implementation of an Information Retrieval System (ANIRS) with Ranking and Browsing Capabilities
(1992-04-01)This report describes an implementation of a cluster based information retrieval system with statistical ranking facilities, ANIRS. ANIRS uses the vector space model to represent the document database. In this model, the ... -
