A METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING THE BEHAVIOR OF ATTRIBUTES WHICH BELONG TO INFORMATION STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL SYSTEMS.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop and apply, by the way of illustration, a method for investigating the behavior of attributes which belong to information storage and retrieval systems. Although several attributes are common to many information systems, their values differ according to the conditions which are present in a given system. An investigation of the relationships between the conditions and the attributes can enlarge the operational understanding of the concept 'information storage and retrieval system.' An operational understanding of this concept is necessary in order to design these systems because it provides an a priori knowlede about the probable state that a system will assume. This state is defined as the values which the attributes will possess under specified conditions, once the system is in operation.
