Abstract

A Pageable Memory Dictionary Information Retrieval System (PMD) was designed and implemented using a time-sharing operating system under the virtual memory concept. The PMD system utilizes three separate data bases which may be used independently or in conjunction with each other, depending on the search parameters entered into the system. The PMD system was designed to use the ACM Computer Review Number and Category Number in addition to the normal search parameters. The test data base was formulated using information from the ACM Computing Reviews. The presentation includes the design criteria, file descriptions, retrieval techniques, examples of the retrieval process and their associated timings, and conclusions.
