Abstract
The existing information systems are characterized by sophisticated hardware designs and relatively unforgiving software support. One may expect that future information systems will provide a unified approach to several different types of information processing tasks, as well as more user-friendly processing environments. Some of the requirements of future information systems are described in this note and various advances in retrieval system design are examined, including automatic indexing, automatic query formulation, and extended Boolean query processing.Keywords
