Title
Information overload in the information age
Abstract
Computer-based communication technologies have attained a high degree of functionality, but computer technology still has severe shortcomings in the handling of textual information. The resulting phenomenon is users' information overload. In this paper we first analyse what we consider the two main approaches for building software tools that can help people to deal with the bulk of textual information that is presently available in electronic platforms: the statistically based approach and the knowledge-based approach. Afterwards we present three systems, Argos, Ares and Aran, which are aimed at helping people to reduce some of the information-related problems that can occur in specific domains. Finally we introduce some more general topics and the future trends of our own research.
