The extraordinary human construct that is the World Wide Web is a truly Disruptive Technology. There are now hundreds of millions of users, billions of indexed web resources, it is used in every country on Earth and yet only a tiny percentage of users is \u201ctrained\u201d in any way. This remarkable construct is both massively distributed and largely open.<\/p>\n

With this amount of content and usage the integration of information across space and time leads to new opportunities. From on-line shopping to collaborative e-Science the web is constantly changing how information is generated, deployed and used.<\/p>\n

This talk will examine the extent to which intelligent web services are evolving to cope with diverse sources of information on a global scale. It will examine the particular way in which Artificial Intelligence is being woven into the web and examine the prospects for the so-called Semantic Web. Experience derived from the AKT project \u2013 a 6 year multi million pound collaborative project – will be discussed It will review how these and other developments are likely to shape the future and our own lives as researchers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
