THE KEYWORD IN CONTEXT PROBLEM

The KWIC index system accepts an ordered set of lines, each line is an ordered set of words, and each word is an ordered set of characters.

Any line may be "circularly shifted" by repeatedly removing the first word and appending it at the end of the line.

The KWIC index system outputs a listing of all circular shifts of all lines in alphabetical order.

KEYWORD IN CONTEXT (KWIC): DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Changes in algorithm: For example, line shifting can be performed i) on each line as it is read from the input

deviceii) on all the lines after they are readiii) on demand when the alphabetization

requires a new set of shifted lines.

Changes in data representation: For example, lines can be stored in various ways. circular shifts can be stored explicitly or implicitly (as index and offsets).

Enhancement to system function: Modify the system to eliminate circular shifts

that starts with certain noise words (such as "a", "an", "and", etc.).

Change the system to be interactive, and allow the user to delete lines from the lists.

This solution decomposes the problem according to the four basic functions performed:

Input: inputs and stores characters Shift which reads characters/writes index Alphabetizer: alphabetizes index Output: prints alphabetized index

It decomposes the problem into 4 basic functions Input, Shift, Alphabetize, output

Computational Components are coordinated as subroutines by a main program.

Computations can share the same storage. This allow efficient data representation. Communication between the computational

components and shared data is an unconstrained read-write protocol.

Serious drawbacks in handling changes: A change in data storage format will affect

almost all of the modules. Changes in algorithm and enhancements to

system function are not easily handled. Reuse is not well-supported because each

module of the system is tied tightly to this particular application

It decomposes the system into a similar set of five modules.

Data is no longer directly shared by the computational components.

Each module provides an interface that permits other components to access data only by invoking procedures in that interface.

Advantages Changes in algorithms and data

representation in individual components don't affect other components.

More reuse support. Drawbacks

Changes in functionality can be difficult might involve components modification or

addition

Uses a form of component integration based on shared data similar to first solution.

Interface to the data is more abstract. Computations are invoked implicitly as data is

modified. An event will be sent to the shift module

whenever there is new line. This allows it to produce circular shifts This causes the alphabetizer to be implicitly

invoked

It has 4 filters : Input, shift, Alphabetize and Output.

Each filter process processes the data and sends it to the next filter.

Control is distributed Each filter can run whenever it has data on which to

compute. Data sharing between filters is strictly limited on

pipes.

Advantages: It maintains the sensitive flow of processing Supports reuse-each filter can function in

isolation New function can easily be added to the system

by inserting filters at the appropriate points. Easy to modify-each filters are logically

independent Disadvantages: Virtually impossible to modify the design

to support interactive system. Uses space inefficiently –since each filter

must copy all of the data to its output ports.
