CAR Documentation

The term CAR (Context-Aware Retrieval) here refers to a family of programs written in Java and which comprise a system, some demonstration files, and documentation. The documentation aims to facilitate:

1. the maintenance and further development of CAR software

2. researchers using the CAR system.

There are several sources of documentation

Peter Brown's collection of CAR papers.	These provide background information and discussion leading up to design and implementation
CAR User Manual	This provides information for researchers wanting to use the CAR system
CAR Execution Modification	An overview of how the researcher can influence CAR execution with parameters, libraries, dynamic interfaces, and version control (supplement to User Manual)
CAR Dynamic Interface	A description, with examples, of how to use the dynamic interface (supplement to User Manual)
CAR Introduction to the Bali environment	An introduction to the Bali environment, used in conjunction with the Dynamic Interface (supplement to User Manual)
The javadoc collection of documentation	These provide detailed information for each of the implemented Java classes.

Relevant cross-references and links have been provided within the documentation where possible.
