Metasearching is the process of combining search results of different search systems into a single set of ranked results which, in turn, is expected to provide us the collective benefit of using each of the participating search systems. Since, user is the direct beneficiary of the search results; this motivates the researchers in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to measure user satisfaction. A user is satisfied if he receives good quality search results in response to his query. To measure user satisfaction, we need to obtain feed back from user. This feedback might also be used to improve the quality of metasearching. The authors discuss the design of a metasearch system that is based on human computer interaction. We compare our method with two other methods Borda’s method and modified Shimura technique. The authors use Spearman’s footrule distance as the measure of comparison. Experimentally, the method performs better than the Borda’s method. The authors argue that the method is significant as it models the user feedback based metasearching and has spam-fighting capabilities.

The article describes experience of creating and implementing information-managing educational environment at university. The model of creating information-managing educational environment of university with elements of artificial intelligence and indicative management is described. This environment contributes to improve quality of training and management of educational processes and resources. The stages of creating and implementing information-managing educational environment are considered systemically, as continuous process focused on a consumer. The inhibitory and facilitating conditions for introduction of the model at university are described. To provide subject-oriented approach to the use of information resources of environment, recommended clusters of information subsystems for each category of users are described.Practically implemented scientific and methodological recommendations for subjects of educational process to overcome resistance to innovations introduced in educational organizations are proposed.Features of adaptation of the developed information-managing educational environment for schools are presented.
