Sensor web observing systems may have the potential to significantly improve our ability to monitor, understand, and predict the evolution of rapidly evolving, transient, or variable environmental features and events. This improvement will come about by integrating novel data collection techniques, new improved instruments, emerging communications technologies, and interoperable planning and scheduling systems. In contrast with today's observing systems, "event-driven" sensor webs will synthesize near-real time measurements and information from other platforms and then reconfigure themselves to invoke new measurement modes and adaptive observation strategies. Meteorological prediction models may also serve to initiate new measurement modes (e.g., higher spatial, temporal resolution) or to target observations to specific regions. These "model-driven" sensor webs will complement event-driven measurements. Platforms will be tasked to target measurements within specific areas where sensitivity to initial conditions may cause ensemble forecasts to diverge when predicting the future state of atmospheric features (e.g., hurricane track) or when discriminating subtle yet critical differences in atmospheric states (e.g., winter precipitation type and location). The targeted measurements would then be assimilated to establish new initial conditions. This operations concept could contribute to reducing forecast model error growth, and concomitantly, forecast uncertainty. The sensor web concept contrasts with today's data collection techniques and observing system operations concepts. Although the technologies and capabilities of our space-, atmospheric-, and surface-based platforms and instruments have evolved significantly during the past four decades, operations concepts for present day observing systems remain essentially unchanged: independent platforms and instruments characterize today's "distributed data collection" systems.

Thewebisaliveenvironmentthatmanagesanddrivesawidespectrumofapp- cations in which a user may interact with a company, a governmental authority, a non-governmental organization or other non-pro?t institution or other users. User preferences and expectations, together with usage patterns, form the basis for personalized, user-friendly and business-optimal services. Key web business metrics enabled by proper data capture and processing are essential to run an e?ective business or service. Enabling technologies include data mining, sc- able warehousing and preprocessing, sequence discovery, real time processing, document classi?cation, user modeling and quality evaluation models for them. Recipient technologies required for user pro?ling and usage patterns include recommendation systems, web analytics applications, and application servers, coupled with content management systems and fraud detectors. Furthermore, the inherent and increasing heterogeneity of the web has - quired web-based applications to more e?ectively integrate a variety of types of data across multiple channels and from di?erent sources. The development and application of web mining techniques in the context of web content, web usage, and web structure data has already resulted in dramatic improvements in a variety of web applications, from search engines, web agents, and content management systems, to web analytics and personalization services. A focus on techniques and architectures for more e?ective integration and mining of c- tent, usage,and structure data from di?erent sourcesis likely to leadto the next generation of more useful and more intelligent applications.
