In this paper we discuss two summarization systems for Arabic and report on a large user study performed on these systems. The first system, the Arabic Query-Based Text Summarization System (AQBTSS), uses standard retrieval methods to map a query against a document collection and to create a summary. The second system, the Arabic Concept-Based Text Summarization System (ACBTSS), creates a query-independent document summary. Five groups of users from different ages and educational levels participated in evaluating our systems. Each group had 300 individuals. We also performed a comparative evaluation with a commercial Arabic summarization system.",
