Optimal use of an information retrieval system

Abstract
Examines a simple model of an information retrieval technology, and uses this model to examine the optimal use of such a technology. If optimal behaviour is understood, then observed behaviour can be used to shed light on the user's objective function, and how a user's behaviour changes as the environment chamges can be analyzed for various specifications of the user's objective function. Shows how user satisfaction varies with the underlying stochastic behaviour of the retrieval process
