Abstract

In a research environment for text and document retreival, the experimental functionality is and must be paramount. However, for long-term durability of a software product, the user-interface is seen as a critical component to successful development. In order to explore the effort involved in developing a modern user interface to a text retrieval system, the authors chose to implement a limited X-Window interface to the Cornell University SMART system.The first section of this paper will briefly introduce the history of the SMART system, its command line interface, and the goal of this project; the second will discuss the scope of the project; the development and integration strategies will be covered in sections three and four; then some ideas on the desired enchancements in section five.
