domain-overview <strong>of</strong> a topic <strong>and</strong> also allow users to zoom in for more details on aspects <strong>of</strong> interest.<br />

A graphical interface can help users to interact with the summary to locate what they want more<br />

rapidly <strong>and</strong> effectively.<br />

Although there is a large body <strong>of</strong> literature on how to write good single-document summaries or<br />

abstracts, not much is found on how to write good <strong>multi</strong>-document summaries <strong>and</strong> literature surveys<br />

(summarizing a set <strong>of</strong> documents is like writing a literature survey). More studies are needed to find<br />

out how good literature surveys are written <strong>and</strong> structured in different situations (e.g. for different purposes<br />

<strong>and</strong> users). More intelligent <strong>and</strong> useful summarization systems can be developed by following<br />

the human cognitive process in summarizing a set <strong>of</strong> documents <strong>and</strong> writing a literature survey.<br />
