Electronic Business and Education

In order to establish technical prerequisites for efficient electronic business and education on the Internet, appropriate system support is needed as a vital condition for maximization of both short-term and long-term profits. <em>Electronic Business and Education: Recent</em> <em>Advances in Internet Infrastructures</em> discusses current research topics in the domain of system support for e-business and e-education on the Internet, and stresses the synergistic interaction of these two components. Attention is given to both scientific and engineering issues. <br/> <em>Electronic Business and Education: Recent Advances in Internet</em> <em>Infrastructures</em> is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry, particularly in the area of e-business and e-education on the Internet. <br/> '<em>There is no longer any question that the Internet and electronic</em> <em>communication are the major new tools for collaborative advances in</em> <em>the creation of new knowledge and in future learning</em>.'
