Abstract

This paper addresses the issue of finding and accessing desired items when a large amount of data items are concerned, by proposing some concepts based on Tree Search Structure -a hierarchical structure for information retrieval. The proposed concepts are applicable to several environments such as File Managers on PCs, help tree views, site maps, taxonomies, and cell phones. A software tool, FTS (File Tree Search), that is developed to utilize the proposed concepts is also presented.
