Abstract

Modern computer users must often sift and manage vast amounts of hierarchically structured information. However, conventional interface tools have not kept pace with the information explosion, leaving users with inadequate means to manage their data. This paper promotes ideas of information filtering and fisheye views of hierarchies through the use of dynamic queries. In particular, we present FLEXVIEW, a graphical system for visualizing file systems.
