Strategies for Building Distributed Information Retrieval Systems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Macleod, Ian A.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Discussion of the need for distributed information retrieval systems focuses on a model system, Fulcrum FUL/Text. Differences from distributed database management systems are described; system design is discussed; implementation requirements are explained including remote operation calls (ROC's); and a prototype simulation model based on FUL/Text…

An Information Systems Approach to the Intervention and Prevention of AIDS.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Xu, Li D.; Li, Ling X. – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Provides a conceptual framework for information systems (IS) that can be used in AIDS intervention and prevention (AIP). System components are analyzed, including a database, decision support systems (DSS), expert systems, and software; potential applications of ISAIP are suggested; and an example of a system implemented at Wright State University…

Applying Informetric Characteristics of Databases to IR System File Design, Part II: Simulation Comparisons.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wolfram, Dietmar – Information Processing and Management, 1992
This second report on a two-part study on the application of informetrics to information retrieval (IR) system design used models of database contents in a factorial simulation study at the University of Western Ontario. The study explored whether different file structures were better suited for different informetric environments. (32 references)…
