How Geobrowsers, Social Software and the Web 2.0 are Shaping the Network Society

The Geospatial Web

Examining the evolution of Web information systems, this text pays particular attention to the emergent attributes of electronic markets. Arno Scharl identifies four categories of architecture and demonstrates their virtues and limitations: static, interactive, adaptive, and agent- mediated systems. He presents an automated and scalable approach to Web assessment, emphasizing the role of feedback in an iterative cycle of design, implementation, usage, and analysis. Evolutionary Web Development blends a strong theoretical background with state-of-the-art research and several industry analyses, making it a valuable resource for researchers and students, as well as for practitioners looking for effective methods and tools.

Evolutionary Web Development

This book brings together high quality articles exploring the design, implementation, management, funding, promotion and evaluation of networked information systems that advocate sustainability and the protection of natural ecosystems. Case studies of deployed and planned information systems complement theoretical work on the methodological, technological and organizational foundations of environmental online communication.
