Systems Versus Users: An Analysis Of The Art And/Or Science Of Search Negotiations, Kathleen T. Bivins

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper discusses the nature of information retrieval, its particular problems, and information retrieval systems in general. Traditional efforts in search analysis and question negotiation are presented, along with a sample of the numerous techniques of automated search manipulation. The newer methods involving the cognitive approach are discussed, and conclusions are drawn regarding the status of the situation and the possible future.

User Studies In Connection With The Development Of A Decentralized Library Network, Nancy Fjallbrant, Olof Friberg

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

This paper examines the development of university departmental libraries in Scandinavia, and traces the influence of the German seminar libraries. This has led to the establishment of a number of library networks. Financial restraints have resulted in a number of studies of departmental library networks, with a view to possible rationalization. This paper describes studies of the attitudes of library users, at Chalmers University, towards computerization of literature resources and cooperation between the main library and the departmental libraries. It was shown that users were apprehensive of centralization and negative to any increase in administrative processes. At the same time …

Communicating Scientific Information Through A University Library Network, Dennis Shaw

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Besides the widely accepted connotation of primary and secondary sources of scientific information it is postulated that a tertiary source may be identified. These three categories are defined and their role is related to (i) the pursuit of fundamental research at the frontier of knowiedge, (ii) the assimilation of the established discoveries into the traditional body of scientific literature and (iii) archiving for posterity.

It is no longer possible completely to separate these categories nor to identify distinct media responsible for information transfer and storage. However, we can identify a hierarchy of media and each element within the hierarchy can …

Poster Sessions As A New Viewpoint Of Scientific Communication - General Problems And Library Aspects, Dieter Schmidmaier

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In the true sense the word POSTER designates a free, mostly decorative artistic form using displaying means of expression and being published in large editions.

POSTERS are already found in feudalism. Today they represent a popular branch of art and are frequently used for different decorating purposes, e.g. in rooms.

POSTER SESSIONS have made their way into scientific communication.

Scientific events, as conferences, congresses, symposia, colloquies, round tables etc. may be, are special ways of communieation. The advantages of such events {called conferences for short) are

• the actuality of the information given
• the possibility of an immediate exchange of ideas. …

Technical Means For Human Communication, P-G. Fontolliet

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Based on simplified models used by engineers for the design of telecommunication systems, an approach of the complex process of human communication is given. Some general concepts like information, analog/digital, noise, real time, network and information quality are introduced and commented.

A Technique To Determine Which Crop Development Stages Can Be Estimated From Spectral Data, V. J. Pollara, V. C. Vanderbilt, C. S. T. Daughtry

LARS Symposia

Estimates of crop development stage by remote sensing techniques are potentially more cost effective for large areas than present labor intensive estimates. Here, discriminant analysis for identifying crop development stage using multispectral data is discussed. The data analyzed were Exotech 100 measurements in four wavelength bands (.5-.6, .6-.7, .7-.8, .8-1.1 um) over field plots of soybeans and corn in West Lafayette, Indiana. Different row spacings, soils, plant populations, planting dates, soybean cultivars and crop years (1978, 1979, 1980) increased the generality of the data set.

Results show that development stage classes at the beginning and end of the growing, season …

Contextual Classification On A Cdc Flexible Processor System, B. W. Smith, H. J. Siegel, P. H. Swain

LARS Symposia

Contextual classifiers are being developed to exploit spatial/spectral content of a pixel to achieve higher classification accuracy. Contextual classification requires large amounts of computation, so special hardware is of value. One parallel processing system designed for image processing is the CDC Flexible Processor Array, the basis for the discussion in this paper. A simulator for the CDC Flexible Processor Array has been developed for program testing, debugging and timing. The simulated timings are presented in this paper. For comparison, the same algorithms have been run on a PDP-11/70. These timings are analyzed and discussed for context neighborhoods of size three …
