Prof. S. Christodoulakis of the University of Toronto will speak on ``Message Storage Retrieval''. TIME: 3.30 PM ROOM: MC 5158 ABSTRACT We describe a message-filing capability which allows for the retrieval of message according to contents. Messages are organized in large, general files such that frequent reorganization is avoided. The user specifies a filter which restricts the attention to a manageable subset of messages. Messages within the subset are retrieved for a final check. We discuss file organization and access method, as well as perfor- mance and implementation considerations. March 9, 1983
