Selected Bibliography on Information Theory Applications to Information Science and Related Subject Areas.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zunde, Pranas – Information Processing and Management, 1984
This 440-item annotated bibliography presents a highly selected list of documents which focus on information theory applications to information science, information processing, or information systems analysis and design. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by author and a subject/keyword index is provided.
Descriptors: Annotated Bibliographies, Information Processing, Information Science, Information Systems
User Models and World Models for Data, Information, and Knowledge.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Teskey, F. N. – Information Processing and Management, 1989
Presents a model that distinguishes between data as directly observable facts, information as structured collections of data, and knowledge as methods of using information. The discussion covers the likely benefits of the use of the model for a semantic information retrieval system using the concept of semantic categories. (28 references)…

Applications of Clustering to Information System Design.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stanfel, Larry E. – Information Processing and Management, 1983
Describes methods for effecting the partition of information systems consisting of many components and interconnections into subsystems which are later made to interface with one another achieving an overall system. Clustering algorithms for the specific case of information systems are obtained and exemplified. Twenty-seven references are…

Application of Loglinear Models to Informetric Phenomena.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bookstein, Abraham; And Others – Information Processing and Management, 1992
Describes the use of loglinear statistical models in the field of informetrics, especially for the analysis of information systems. A detailed example is given of developing a model based on loglinear analysis to determine book acquisition patterns in libraries, including mathematical considerations and algorithms. (19 references) (LRW)

Information Systems and Development in the Third World.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Heitzman, James – Information Processing and Management, 1990
Discussion of the relationship between information and development in Third World countries highlights information systems development in four South Asian nations: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The impact of microelectronics technology, development theories, multinational corporations, international information agencies, and…

Coding for Recording and Recall of Information.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kochen, Manfred – Information Processing and Management, 1984
Explores potential of mathematical theory of communication for information science and examines question of how to encode a message at time it is encountered for subsequent recall. Examples of problem, a prototype computer program and experiment, coding as embedding in associational nets, and nature of information are discussed. (Nine references.)…

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)…
