Future work on the PUSH system
The first study will furthermore provide us with data which we may use to via machine learning train the systems relations between actions and underlying information seeking task.
Several enhancements will be feasible within short. One of the advantages of using a widely spread web browser such as the Netscape Navigator as well as the up and coming Java language, is that as soon as advances are made to these products they can be taken advantage of in the PUSH system.
The graph data is transferred from the POP program to the Java applet by means of a file. Improvements to look forward to are the Java socket capabilities in Netscape, enhancements to the HTML standard, and for example HTML parsing and presenting capabilities in a Java text-area. This will allow us to completely remove the Page Generator component and instead have one, more complex, Java applet communicate with and present the information of the POP prolog server.
Another great improvement to the system will be to allow authorized users to update the information database in POP by viewing and editing and finally uploading the content from a remote location.
