Application Architecture to Foster User-Centric Information Discovery and Retrieval
Toru Kobayashi · 2012
We propose the “Application Architecture” which realizes user-centric information discovery and retrieval. We call applications based on this architecture “Personal Information Style Applications”. Quite different from the concept of Universal Design, architecture provides customized information technology usage environments. We show the concept of Personal Information Style Applications and implementation approaches. We also discuss the basic technologies needed. Finally, we explain four use cases in order to elucidate the basic technologies.
