This book provides a thorough overview of the Wisdom Web of Things
(W2T), a holistic framework for computing and intelligence in an
emerging hyper-world with a social-cyber-physical space. Fast-evolving
Web intelligence research and development initiatives are now moving
toward understanding the multifaceted nature of intelligence and
incorporating it at the Web scale in a ubiquitous environment with data,
connection and service explosion. The book focuses on the framework and
methodology of W2T, as well as its applications in different problem
domains, such as intelligent businesses, urban computing, social
computing, brain informatics and healthcare. From the researcher and
developer perspectives, the book takes a systematic, structured view of
various W2T facets and their overall contribution to the development of
W2T as a whole. Written by leading international researchers, this book
is an essential reference for researchers, educators, professionals, and
tertiary HDR students working on the World Wide Web, ubiquitous
computing, knowledge management, and business intelligence.
