Volume 55 covers some particularly hot topics. Linda Harasim writes
about education and the Web in "The Virtual University: A State of
the Art." She discusses the issues that will need to be addressed
if online education is to live up to expectations. Neville Holmes
covers a related subject in his chapter "The Net, the Web, and the
Children." He argues that the Web is an evolutionary, rather than
revolutionary, development and highlights the division between the
rich and the poor within and across nations. Continuing the WWW
theme, George Mihaila, Louqa Raschid, and Maria-Esther Vidal look
at the problems of using the Web and finding the information you
want.
Naren Ramakrishnan and Anath Grama discuss another aspect of
finding relevant information in large databases in their
contribution. They discuss the algorithms, techniques, and
methodologies for effective application of scientific data mining.
Returning to the Web theme, Ross Anderson, Frank Stajano, and
Jong-Hyeon Lee address the issue of security policies. Their survey
of the most significant security policy models in the literature
shows how security may mean different things in different contexts.
John Savage, Alan Selman, and Carl Smith take a step back from the
applications and address how theoretical computer science has had
an impact on practical computing concepts. Finally, Yuan Taur takes
a step even further back and discusses the development of the
computer chip.
Thus, Volume 55 takes us from the very fundamentals of computer
science-the chip-right to the applications and user interface with
the Web.
