Peer reviewedFrants, Valery I.; Shapiro, Jacob – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Discussion of the problem of control in documentary information retrieval (IR) systems focuses on feedback mechanisms. Information needs are discussed, particularly the Problem Oriented Information Need (POIN); the structure of an adaptive IR system is described; and the design of algorithms for automated IR systems is explained.

Peer reviewedDenley, Ian; Whitefield, Andy – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1998
Describes the design of a prototype multiauthor multimedia document production (MAMMDP) system. Discusses the problems of finding an appropriate task analysis technique, and introduces background concepts. Examines how the system's tasks were analyzed and represented during the early stages of the design. (AEF)
