This book grew out of the First Symposium on the Personal Web, co-located with CASCON 2010 in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The purpose of the symposium was to bring together prominent researchers and practitioners from a diverse range of research areas relevant to the advancement of science and practice relating to the Personal Web. Research on the Personal Web is an outgrowth of the Smart Internet initiative, which seeks to extend and transform the web to be centred on the user, with the web as a calm platform ubiquitously providing cognitive support to its user and his or her tasks. As with the preceding SITCON workshop (held at CASCON 2009), this symposium involved a multi-disciplinary effort that brought together researchers and practitioners in data integration; web services modelling and architecture; human-computerinteraction; predictive analytics; cloud infrastructure; semantics and ontology; and industrial application domains such as health care and finance.
The discussions during the symposium dealt with different aspects of the architecture and functionality needed to make the Personal Web a reality. After the symposium the authors reworked their presentations into draft chapters that were submitted for peer evaluation and review. Every chapter went through two rounds of reviewing by at least two independent expert reviewers, and accepted chapters were then revised and are presented in this book.

vi The process is important! I learned this lesson the hard way during my previous existence working as a design engineer with PA Consulting Group's Cambridge Technology Centre. One of my earliest assignments involved the development of a piece of labo- tory automation equipment for a major European pharmaceutical *** things stick in my mind from those early days – first, that the equipment was always to be ready for delivery in three weeks and,second,that being able to write well structured Pascal was not sufficient to deliver reliable software performance. Delivery was ultimately six months late,the project ran some sixty percent over budget and I gained my first promotion to Senior Engineer. At the time it puzzled me that I had been unable to predict the John Clarkson real effort required to complete the automation project – I had Reader in Engineering Design, genuinely believed that the project would be finished in three Director, Cambridge Engineering *** was some years later that I discovered Kenneth Cooper's Design Centre papers describing the Rework Cycle and realised that I had been the victim of “undiscovered rework”.I quickly learned that project plans were not just inaccurate,as most project managers would attest,but often grossly misleading,bearing little resemblance to actual development practice.

In most schools the dominant supporting technology has been either the stand-alone personal computer or a modest local network. The situation is changing rapidly as a rising number of schools provide access to the Internet for their staff and pupils, opening avenues for communication and networking hitherto not possible.;This book reflects on this change. It aims to further the vision of how these new technologies could improve and transform aspects of education. Yet in parallel it asks serious questions about the realities of an interface between the social, cultural and pedagogical contexts of education and the actual affordances that these new information and communication technologies offer.;The chapters in this book provide a heady mix of foresight and practical reporting, of planning for the future but at the same time respecting the problems education already has with current technologies. The richness of the points presented here stems in part from the range of experience of the international authors - from academics and administrators, to teachers and curriculum designers. This mix ensures that the central questions on communications and networking in education are considered not simply from a variety of personal perspectives, but also from different cultural and environmental experiences. And yet interest also lies in the commonality of reporting and discussion based on activity in the field. All the contributions draw heavily on research and experience in devising and running projects and experimental activities in a range of schools and teacher-training institutions and environments. The opinions expressed are thus grounded in knowledge gained from work embedded in the reality of today's educational settings. This must be the only sound base upon which to consider the issues of the future.;This book is essential reading for all professionals involved in all aspects of information and communication technologies in education.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference
proceedings of the first two international workshops on computational
models of collaboration in distributed systems: CARE 2009, held as
satellite event of the 22nd Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial
Intelligence AI09 in Melbourne, Australia, in December 2009 and CARE
2010, held in conjunction with the International Conference on
Intelligent Agent Technology (IAT) in Toronto, Canada, in August 2010.
The 12 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures
were carefully selected from a total of 45 submissions to both events.
The workshops' thematic focus is on collaborative and autonomous agents
that plan, negotiate, coordinate, and act under conditions of incomplete
information, uncertainty, and bounded rationality.

The three-volume set LNCS 15773 - 15775 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the thematic area human Interface and the Management of Information, HIMI 2025, held as part of the 27th International Conference on human-computerinteraction, HCI International 2025 (HCII 2025), which was held in Gothenburg, Sweden, during June 22–27, 2025.
The total of 1430 papers and 355 posters included in the HCII 2025 proceedings was carefully reviewed and selected from 7972 submissions.
The papers in these proceedings have been organized in topical sections as follows:
Part I: Information design and visualization; human-human and human-AI collaboration; user experience design and evaluation;
Part II: Information in eHealth; information, knowledge and learning;
Part III: Multimodality and information; eCommerce and industrial applications.

Dieses Lehrprogramm zur systematischen Gestaltung eines interaktiv nutzbaren Bildschirms (Screen) erläutert wahrnehmungspsychologische und kommunikationswissenschaftliche Grundlagen, die für das Systemische Design grafischer Benutzeroberflächen (Graphical userinterfaces) relevant sind. Im Kontext interaktiver Raumnutzung wird illustriert, wie die Bildschirmfläche morphologisch in Form eines visuellen Gestaltungsrasters (Visual Design Pattern) zu gliedern ist, das den immersiven Bildraum der grafischen Benutzeroberfläche strukturiert und die interaktive Nutzung erleichtert. Es werden mögliche Farbkombinationen für ein visuelles Ambiente definiert, deren Wirkungsweise auf natürlichen Erfahrungswerten basiert und somit einem speziellen Nutzernaturell entspricht, dessen Charakteristika weltweit identisch sind.
