Information-System Structure by Communication-Technology Concepts: A Cybernetic Model Approach.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Reisig, Gerhard H. R. – Information Processing and Management, 1978
Presents the "Evidence-of-Existence" information system in which the structure is developed, with application of cybernetic concepts, as an isomorphic model in analogy to the system structure of communication technology. Three criteria of structuring are postulated: (1) source-channel-sink, with input-output characteristics, (2) filter-type…

Reading Overload and Cogency.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bernier, Charles L. – Information Processing and Management, 1978
Examines the selective dissemination of indexed surrogates to overcome two major causes of cultural lag: reading overload and lack of cogency of technical communication. An analysis of three models--reference-retrieval systems, question-answering systems, and surrogate-dissemination systems--explores reasons for lag in technique implementation.…

The Application of the Concept of Homeosemy to Natural Language Information Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
de Heer, T. – Information Processing and Management, 1982
Addresses problem of developing machine-based information system capable of indicating one document, out of a set of documents written in natural language, which shows maximal degree of homeosemy (relationship in meaning between two texts language-fragments ) toward natural language query. Linguistic aspects, information traces, trigrams,…

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.)…

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…
