Biological Environment for Information Retrieval

By Moheb R. Girgis, Abdelmgeid A. Aly, Bahgat A. Abdel Latef, and Boutros El-Gamil

Abstract

Heuristic methods based on biological aspects have been successfully used in many computer science areas of research, including information retrieval (IR). This let us ask: why there is no biological environment for the problem of information retrieval. In this paper, we tried to introduce a new biological environment for information retrieval that broad the modeling concept from the mathematical formula that simulates the basic elements of IR problem to their dual schemas in biology. It's a new way of thinking of, and dealing with, the problem of information retrieval.
