Aims and Goals
The explosive growth of Web resources
and Internet applications in the recent years has created an urgent
need for effective and efficient tools for information consumers, who
must be able to easily locate, manage and exchange disparate
information, ranging from unstructured documents and pictures to
structured, but often hidden, record-oriented data. Though many
research works are done, with papers published in various conferences
and journals, the systematic and authoritative books such as
monographs, handbooks, reference books and textbooks in these areas
are in high demand for academic, graduates and industry practitioners.
This new series is a timely response to the recent advances in
Internet and World Wide Web technologies and it is aimed is to promote
the research and development activities and disseminate knowledge in
web information systems in particularly, and in internet applications
in general.
Books in the series should have a
strong focus on internet/Web-based applications and, in particularly,
web-related problems such as web personalization, web commerce, web
agents, web services, web-based multimedia, web-based information
systems, web search engines, web-related performance evaluations,
web-supported cooperative work, and universal design.
We emphasize on strong commitment to
both scientific quality and good writing style. All books in this
series should show a strong practical or application relevance as well
as a thorough scientific basis. They should be of particular interest
to both researchers and professionals wishing to acquire detailed
knowledge and techniques for developing advanced applications and/or
solutions for their own problems.
