Abstract :
In this paper we describe a message server facility for handling large organizational archives of messages in an office information system environment. Messages can be retrieved according to attribute values specified and to some pattern of words appearing in the text of the message. We discuss design decisions and performance considerations in this environment and we derive analytic formulas for the optimal choice of the parameters of the message file organization.
