This unique book reveals how Collaborative Innovation Networks
(COINs) can be used to achieve resilience to change and external
shocks. COINs, which consist of 'cyberteams' of motivated
individuals, are self-organizing emergent social systems for coping
with external change. The book describes how COINs enable
resilience in healthcare, e.g. through teams of patients, family
members, doctors and researchers to support patients with chronic
diseases, or by reducing infant mortality by forming groups of
mothers, social workers, doctors, and policymakers. It also
examines COINs within large corporations and how they build
resilience by forming, spontaneously and without intervention on
the part of the management, to creatively respond to new risks and
external threats. The expert contributions also discuss how COINs
can benefit startups, offering new self-organizing forms of
leadership in which all stakeholders collaborate to develop new
products.

The hypermedia authoring process has been vividly described in a
special issue of the Economist as a combination of writing a book,
a play, a film, and a radio or television show: A hypermedia
document combines all these elements and adds some of its own. The
author' s first job is to structure and explain all of the infor
mation. The author then must distill the information into brief,
descriptive nodes. Each node has to contain a Iist of the
ingredients, and instructions on how the ingredients are mixed
together to the greatest advantage. The structure of the material
provided is translated into an architectural metaphor of some kind;
much of the designer' s work is the creation of this imaginary
space. Then, the designers must chart the details of what to
animate, what to film, who to inter view, and how to arrange the
information in the space tobe built Eco95a]. This book presents
guidelines, tools, and techniques for prospective authors such that
they can design better hypermedia documents and applications. lt
surveys the different techniques used to organize, search, and
structure infor mation in a large information system. It then
describes the algorithms used to locate, reorganize, and link data
to enable navigation and retrieval. It Iooks in detail at the
creation and presentation of certain types of visual information,
namely algorithm animations. It introduces new mechanisms for
editing audio and video data streams."
