The World Wide Web has become a ubiquitous global tool, used for
finding infor mation, communicating ideas, carrying out distributed
computation and conducting business, learning and science. The Web
is highly dynamic in both the content and quantity of the
information that it encompasses. In order to fully exploit its
enormous potential as a global repository of information, we need
to understand how its size, topology and content are evolv ing.
This then allows the development of new techniques for locating and
retrieving information that are better able to adapt and scale to
its change and growth. The Web's users are highly diverse and can
access the Web from a variety of devices and interfaces, at
different places and times, and for varying purposes. We thus also
need techniques for personalising the presentation and content of
Web based information depending on how it is being accessed and on
the specific user's requirements. As well as being accessed by
human users, the Web is also accessed by appli cations. New
applications in areas such as e-business, sensor networks, and
mobile and ubiquitous computing need to be able to detect and react
quickly to events and changes in Web-based information. Traditional
approaches using query-based 'pull' of information to find out if
events or changes of interest have occurred may not be able to
scale to the quantity and frequency of events and changes being
generated, and new 'push' -based techniques are needed."
