Experimental Evaluation of Information Retrieval Through a Teletypewriter.
Rubinoff, Morris; And Others – 1967
A minimum of 30 minutes is required to learn even the rudiments of the command language (Symbolic Language). Although written instructions are helpful, practice is essential. The programmed instruction routines, which took approximately 20 minutes, were mostly of the 'yes-no' variety. Expanded routines, which would require other replies and would…

A Total Relevance and Document Interaction Effects Model for the Evaluation of Information Retrieval Processes.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Tiamiyu, Mutawakilu; Ajiferuke, Isola Y. – Information Processing and Management, 1988
Presents a model for information retrieval evaluation based on the notion of total relevance, a function derived from the traditional summation of relevance ratings over the documents in a collection. The model makes explicit the perceptual underpinnings of relevance assessments while allowing for consideration of interdocument dependencies. (37…

A Methodology for the Performance Evaluation of Information Systems Under Multiple Criteria.
Chandler, John S.; DeLutis, Thomas G. – 1976
An information system can be viewed as a symbiotic relation between the users of the system and the system's hardware, software, and data resources. Ideally, performance evaluation of these systems should be based on the achievement of user based criteria while concurrently minimizing resource costs. Current evaluation technologies concentrate on…

Computer Human Interaction for Image Information Systems.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beard, David Volk – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1991
Presents an approach to developing viable image computer-human interactions (CHI) involving user metaphors for comprehending image data and methods for locating, accessing, and displaying computer images. A medical-image radiology workstation application is used as an example, and feedback and evaluation methods are discussed. (41 references) (LRW)

AUDACIOUS - An Experiment with an On-Line, Interactive Reference Retrieval ment with an On-Line, Interactive Reference Retrieval System Using the Universal Decimal Classification as the Index Language in the Field of Nuclear Science.
Freeman, Robert R.; Atherton, Pauline – 1968
This report describes an experimental system for remote direct access to files of computer-stored information which has been indexed by the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC). The data base for the experiment consisted of references from a single issue of Nuclear Science Abstracts. The Special Subject Edition of UDC for Nuclear Science and…
