On the Emerging Science of the Internet and the Web
On the Emerging Science of the Internet and the Web
Author: Orestis A. Telelis Format: PDF Date: 2003
From the Introduction:
"Meanwhile some people had the idea of linking computers together, so that they could achieve communication between the machines and, eventually, between themselves. The enormous Internet of computers has since emerged, and above it a major document retrieval and presentation application, theWorld WideWeb (WWW). The net has grown so enormously anarchic and huge, that perhaps it is now time to start studying the human activity on it. Will this be the emrgence of a new kind of science? Well the previously mentioned mathematicians will disagree with it, but hopefully the computer scientists will acknowledge its importance as a theoretical discipline of their field."
