The Personal Web

The First Symposium on the Personal Web is colocated with CASCON 2010 and is sponsored by IBM CAS Research. This symposium includes key researchers and practitioners in a range of related areas in order to organize and focus the research directions and challenges of the Personal Web as the next instantiation of the Smart Internet. The smart internet is envisaged as a platform for automatic, dynamic aggregation of data and services for the purpose of supporting each user's goals; tasks and concerns, both cognitively and socially. The Personal Web focuses on the user view of the Smart Internet, allowing users to conduct ad hoc or persisted integration effortlessly across the web, as per their context and spheres of interest. The Smart Internet research initiative has two distinct areas of research. Smart Interactions address factors that impact the discovery; aggregation and delivery of data and services from the internet that are most relevant and appropriate to the users' situations and tasks at hand. Smart Services address the challenges in the underlying web architecture and runtime infrastructure as the behind-the-scene enabler to actually deliver the data and services in a manner that meet the requirement for the support of smart interactions. Building on what has been previously established in Smart Internet, the Personal Web emphasizes the use of semantically-linked data as its fundamental basic building block in order to enable user-sovereign, open integrations across the web, and to achieve the goals of users with minimal cognitive effort. This refines the research scope of smart interactions and smart services, and creates new problem statements and research challenges.
