Conference Description:
The Inclusive Internet
The Internet has revolutionized and changed the way we communicate, socialize, entertain, access information and conduct business. It has evolved into a pervasive ecosystem of connected computers, mobile devices, sensors, home appliances, and a variety of other gadgets. This evolution has led to a deep intertwining of the physical, social and digital worlds, raising new research agendas and challenging our understanding of the requirements for a vastly interconnected world. The advent of Web 2.0, social networks, open API's, mash-ups and cloud computing are empowering Internet users into becoming Internet "makers." Anyone and everyone is included, free to contribute content and even services. The frontier of the Internet no longer stops at the shores of large corporations, small businesses, and online stores. It has expanded to include the presence and contributions of virtually all mankind. The symposium provides a forum for researchers and practitioners from the academic, industrial, public and governmental sectors to share their latest innovations on Internet technologies and applications.
