    Abstract
    An approach to accessing databases, which makes extensive use of structured thesaurus views for presenting and searching a large bibliographic database through progressive refinement, is being investigated in a research project which is seeking to apply usability criteria as the determinant for interface design. It aims to investigate measurements of retrieval performance in an application of graphical user interface techniques using multi-windowed layered attribute value aggregation, including those provided by a structured thesaurus, to access bibliographic databases. This paper reports on the progress made in the first year of the project of the application of usability methodologies, the revision of a preliminray design and the resulting prototype development. Implications for more widespread applications are discussed

    Abstract
    Presents the results of an initial study on the application of Genetic Programming (GP) to the production of term weighting algorithms in relevance feedback systems within information retrieval systems. Compares Porter, wpq and GP algorithms with user rankings. Offers a backgroud to term weighting alsgorithms and Genetic Programming
