Course Description:
In this course, students will study and develop emerging technologies that can potentially aid information consumers and knowledge workers to efficiently cull out Web materials most relevant to the project or task at hand and to use it productively. Students will also study and develop new information management and Internet-scale computation capabilities that can potentially enable information producers and e-commerce participants to economically achieve their goals.
Course topics will include history of hypertext, markup languages, groupware and the Web; evolving Web protocols, formats and computation paradigms such as HTTP, XML and Web Services; and novel application domains enabled by the Web and societal issues.
