    abstract = { This paper describes several methods for improving query evaluationspeed in a content-based image retrieval system (CBIRS). Responsetime is an extremely important factor in determining the usefulnessof any interactive system, as has been demonstrated by human factorsstudies over the past thirty years. In particular, response timesof less than one second are often specified as a usability requirement.It is shown that the use of inverted files facilitates the reductionof query evaluation time without significantly reducing the accuracyof the response. The performance of the system is evaluated usingprecision \vs recall graphs, which are an established evaluationmethod in information retrieval (IR), and are beginning to be usedby CBIR researchers. },
