Abstract:

This thesis describes the design, implementation and user interface for an Instructional Software Information System ISIS. The existing volume and increasing rate of growth of computer software production suggests the need for a catalogue procedure to help programmers find existing software to reduce redundant programming. The purpose of the ISIS is to provide an online software catalogue which does not require either prior instruction or familarity with keyword lexicons. Using ISIS, a user may record the characteristics of new software, and make searches for existing software by specifying its characteristics. Characteristics are specified by selection from a succession of menus. ISIS is implemented on a PDP-11 computer operating under the UNIX operating system using the INGRES data base management system. It is written in the QUEL query language embedded in the programming language C. Author
