A methodology to design information retrieval systems (MDIRS)

ABSTRACT

MDIRS is methodology to define the actors and the steps to build efficiently information retrieval (IR) System. MDRIS main mission is to analyze, develop and evaluate mechanisms and tools to produce IR systems from a more abstract, high level, efficient and productive way than it is done currently. MDIRS project is influenced by MDA reference model, and is mainly based on three principles: namely, high-level models specification; generative programming techniques; and it is component-based architecture-centric. In this paper we detail the methodology generative programming techniques used to produce IR Systems and the work that will be handled in the near future.
