Development Methods

The case study describes a small consulting company’s experience in the design and implementation of a database and associated information retrieval system. Their choices are explained within the context of the firm’s needs and constraints. Issues associated with development methods are discussed, along with problems that arose from not following proper development disciplines.

System A

With recent advances in wireless communication technologies, the world of mobile computing is flourishing with a variety of applications. This paper presents a mobile product information retrieval system that supports collaborative work among remote users. With the development of the system, a knowledge representation framework has been adopted which accommodates semantic relationships and similarity of product data. To illustrate the system developed, a case study in information retrieval for product design is presented．

Color Similarity

The paper describes the design and implementation of an information retrieval system using color as the index in its color image archive. Salient aspects of this approach are the use of direct visual representation of color in querying and of fuzzy set theory to formally represent intrinsic human uncertainty in evaluating the similarity between colors (query interpretation). The steps in which the information retrieval strategy is organized are illustrated, and an example of its application given, showing how the implemented system can be tailored to manage archives of images representing fabric samples.
