    Abstract
    Gives a background of conceptual model design in computer systems design. Focuses on the use and the support of abstraction in the design process. Classifies it into: vertical, horizontal and general abstraction techniques. Proposes a theoretical framework which suggests the completeness of the design, the development of higher level concepts in design, and the design organization as the 3 dimensions of design output that can be enhanced by effective use of abstraction techniques. The proposed framework was empirically tested on a design problem using no-domain experts, with a software prototype that provided abstraction aides. Examines the implications of this study

    Abstract
    Reviews the form and application of information abstraction in an information retrieval interface. Discusses the results of an explanatory study undertaken to develop an understanding of the information search strategy and the decision strategy used, and whether these strategies were related. Describes the design of an experimental interface to evaluate its effects. Discusses an experiment where data were collected on the activities of subjects while they used an interface to solve an alternative ranking problem. Presents an analysis of the data, conclusions and implications of the study
