Data Compression.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bookstein, Abraham; Storer, James A. – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Introduces this issue, which contains papers from the 1991 Data Compression Conference, and defines data compression. The two primary functions of data compression are described, i.e., storage and communications; types of data using compression technology are discussed; compression methods are explained; and current areas of research are…

Literature Storage and Retrieval System Using a Table-Top Computer.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Saran, M.; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1981
Describes a dialog-program which uses basic statements available on a WANG 2200T version connected to a floppy-diskette to cross-reference a given set of keywords, author names, journal names, and specified reference numbers. Special program features are described and two references are listed. (Author/RBF)

Inverted Signature Trees and Text Searching on CD-ROMs.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cooper, Lorraine K. D.; Tharp, Alan L. – Information Processing and Management, 1989
Explores the new storage technology of optical data disks and introduces a data structure, the inverted signature tree, for storing data on optical data disks for efficient text searching. The inverted signature tree approach is compared to the use of text signatures and the B+ tree. (22 references) (Author/CLB)

Processing of Inverted Files in Magnetic Bubble Memories.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zaki, M.; Elboraey, F. – Information Processing and Management, 1985
Investigates applicability of inverted file processing in magnetic bubble memories by presenting four magnetic bubble memory models as storage mediums: one based on a major-minor loop configuration; one utilizing a decoder design on a magnetic bubble memory chip; and two based on different structural configurations of the first two. (MBR)

Computer Terminal Memory Performance in a Resource Sharing Distributed Supercomputing Environment.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reddi, Arumalla V. – Information Processing and Management, 1983
Analyzes computer terminal memory performance in terms of overflow probability and average queueing delay, and presents new method to derive a closed expression for data arrivals with Erlangly distributed interarrival times and an approach to derive steady state probability expressions of the terminal memory content process. Twenty references are…

The Convergence of Moore's/Mooers' Laws.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koenig, Michael E. D. – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Presents a four-stage hypothesis of information systems development based on computational capability, storage capability, communications capability, and effective voice input. Moore's Law and Mooers' Law are explained, the interface between the system and the user is discussed, and projections for the future are suggested. (21 references)…

Shared Memory Performance of Multi-Computer Terminals in Distributed Information Systems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reddi, Arumalla V. – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Presents a system model for transmission of input data that is coming from terminals of users in a limited user resource-sharing environment. Performance of a mini/microcomputer receiving mixture of picture-phone terminal data is analyzed with constant service times, synchronous transmission, and single-server interruptions through first-order…
