Information is becoming the raw material of modern society; it is
the driving force of modern service industries. Our information
spaces have been pervaded by technology and are characterized by
their increasing size and complexity. Furthermore, access to
information spaces and the ability to use them effectively and
efficiently have become key economic success factors.
Interdisciplinary Advances in Adaptive and Intelligent Assistant
Systems: Concepts, Techniques, Applications, and Use encourages
knowledge on effective and efficient approaches to accessing
information spaces. It fosters an emerging key competence:
accessing and processing large, highly complex corpora of
information by applying collaborative, intelligent technical
systems. It is the mission of this book to trigger
interdisciplinary research and cooperation at the intersection
between information sciences, information technologies and
communication sciences. This publication also raises awareness of
the field s importance in business and management communities, thus
contributing to the dissemination of scientific ideas and insights.

The lives of people all around the world, especially in
industrialized nations, continue to be changed by the presence and
growth of the Internet. Its in?uence is felt at scales ranging from
private lifestyles to national economies, boosting
thepaceatwhichmoderninformationandcommunicationtechnologiesin?uence
personal choices along with business processes and scienti?c
endeavors. In addition to its billions of HTML pages, the Web can
now be seen as an open repository of computing resources. These
resources provide access to computational services as well as data
repositories, through a rapidly growing variety of Web applications
and Web services. However, people's usage of all these resources
barely scratches the surface of the possibilities that such
richness should o?er. One simple reason is that, given the variety
of information available and the rate at which it is being
extended, it is di?cult to keep up with the range of resources
relevant to one's interests. Another reason is that resources are
o?ered in a bewildering variety of formats and styles, so that many
resources e?ectively stand in isolation. This is reminiscent of the
challenge of enterprise application integration, - miliar to every
large organization be it in commerce, academia or government.
Thechallengearisesbecauseoftheaccumulationofinformationandcommuni-
tion systems over decades, typically without the technical
provision or political will to make them work together. Thus the
exchange of data among those s- tems is di?cult and expensive, and
the potential synergetic e?ects of combining them are never
realized.
