[PDF] Creating a Science of the Web | Semantic Scholar

Science 2.0

Traditional scientific methods need to be expanded to deal with complex issues that arise as social systems meet technological innovation.

Choosing our Science

The relationship between Hypertext research and Web Science is examined, and readers are asked how they would choose their science.

Trust on the Web: Some Web Science Research Challenges

Research issues and challenges relating to the vital topic of trust are reviewed, showing how the Web Science agenda requires trust to be addressed, and how addressing the challenges requires a range of disciplinary skills applied in an integrated manner.

Navigation in a small world

The small-world phenomenon was first investigated as a question in sociology and is a feature of a range of networks arising in nature and technology and is investigated by modelling how individuals can find short chains in a large social network.

Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace

Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig shows how code can make a domain, site, or network free or restrictive; how technological architectures influence people's behavior and the values they adopt; and how changes in code can have damaging consequences for individual freedoms.

Exploring complex networks

This work aims to understand how an enormous network of interacting dynamical systems — be they neurons, power stations or lasers — will behave collectively, given their individual dynamics and coupling architecture.
