    Abstract
    In many companies, the use of information retrieval systems is substantially augmented by 'word-of-mouth' communication. In such a system individuals use their valuable experience and understanding of one another's needs in order to achieve a very precise filtering and directing of information. The perception which these individuals bring to bear represent a form of corporate knowledge. The RADA (Research And Development Advisor) system has been developed at the University of Sunderland to perform information retrieval in a research and development environment. A component is currently being developed to emulate a word-of-mouth system. This work involves a combination of techniques and themes from the areas of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Supported Cooperative Work to provide a design for a system which will provide a more intuitive form of information storage and retrieval. This paper will describe the architecture and objectives of the RADA system, and report on progress to date with the work

    Abstract
    Proposes a novel approach for future intranet communication. A software system, InfoVine, which has been developed and is based on this approach, shows how user models can help in performing interpersonal information retrieval and in viewing people as an index to information. Discusses the benefits of the InfoVine in the context of user profiling for information retrieval

    Abstract
    Reports results of a study, by the School of Computing and Information Systems, Sunderland University, with paint technology scientists at Courtaulds Coatings, of the flow of proprietary information within the organization. This had led to a new model for information retrieval: the word-of-mouth system or 'grapevine'. This informal network is used to circulate information about the interests, expertise and work of individuals within the organization. Seeing the information in such personal terms helps to filter and direct it. This makes the word-of-mouth system a very powerful computerized system. A detailed prototype of the Word-of-Mouth Emulator has been built to capture information by allowing explicit declaration af areas of interst/expertise; and by logging and analysing scientists's behaviour in using the information retrieval system itself. In producing this prototype Word-of-Mouth Emulator some questions have been raised which bear directly on the relationship between expertise and information retrieval
