Abstract: The world wide web provides a uniform, user friendly interface to the Internet. Web pages can contain text and pictures and are interconnected by hypertext links. The addresses of web pages are recorded as uniform resource locators (URLs), transmitted by hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), and written in hypertext markup language (HTML). Programs that allow you to use the web are available for most operating systems. Powerful on line search engines make it relatively easy to find information on the web. Browsing through the web--"net surfing"--is both easy and enjoyable. Contributing to the web is not difficult, and the web opens up new possibilities for electronic publishing and electronic journals.

Abstract: We have experimented with developing a prototype Surgeon's Workstation which makes use of the World Wide Web client-server architecture. Although originally intended merely as a means for obtaining user feedback for use in designing a "real" system, the application has been adopted for use by our Department of Surgery. As they begin to use the application, they have suggested changes and we have responded. This paper illustrates some of the advantages we have found for prototyping with Web-based applications, including security aspects.

Abstract: The development and use of artificial intelligence technologies continues to expand in accounting practice, industry and government, However, the exposure of accounting students to artificial intelligence remains almost non-existent. Accounting faculty should move towards integrating artificial intelligence topics into the curriculum so that students can begin learning about artificial intelligence before they encounter it in the workplace. Artificial intelligence techniques give computer systems human-like abilities to reason and learn. For accounting the most promising types of artificial intelligence are expert systems and neural networks. Artificial intelligence is used in auditing, fnancial and management accounting, taxation and government. The integration of artificial intelligence into the accounting curriculum befits the move for microcomputer integration and calls for the innovative use of technology in the accounting courses. Suggestions from the literature include using supplemental readings a...

Abstract: This article introduces the issue of business activity on the World-Wide Web and reports on two surveys of business organizations with World-Wide Web pages. The first survey examined the WWW pages and categorized them by industry sector and by the nature of the use of the Web. The second survey used a brief e-mail questionnaire to those companies in the first survey that provided an e-mail contact address. The companies made use of the Web for publicity, advertising, customer support, and online selling. The major problems holding back further development were said to be: development of secure sites and suitable payment systems, faster connection times and wider access. The main future developments were seen to be: more interaction with users, more general content to be added, the addition of more products and services and increased use of multi-media.

Abstract: In describing a Web-based on-line information gathering tool, the authors show how the system adapts to meet each user's needs and learns from user behaviour. One of the system that has begun to make good on the early predictions is the IndustryNet marketplace on the Web. IndustryNet provides several services for its users. It is a news service, an on-line trade journal that provides instant reader service information, a searchable archive of new product announcements, a searchable archive of design application cases, and a provider of interactive access to manufacturer and distributor information. We outline the IndustryNet approach to conducting commerce on the Internet. We examine how IndustryNet is enhancing the relationship between buyers/specifiers, manufacturers, and distributors. >

Abstract: This paper presents an environment for publishing information on the World-Wide Web (WWW). Previous work has pointed out that the explosive growth of the WWW is in part due to the ease with which information can be made available to Web users [23]. Yet this property can have negative impacts on the ability to find appropriate information as well as on the integrity of the information published. We present a prototype environment that facilitates the publishing of documents on the Web by automatically generating meta-information about the document, communicating this to a local scalable architecture, e.g. WHOIS + +, verifying the document's HTML compliance, maintaining referential integrity within the local database, and placing the document in a Web accessible area. Additionally, maintenance and versioning facilities are provided. This paper first discusses an idealized publishing environment, then describes our implementation, followed by a discussion of salient issues and future research areas.

Abstract: The World Wide Web is one of the fastest growing areas on the Internet. Users will learn how to design their own Web site with the World Wide Web Design Guide.

Abstract: The development of the Internet [1] has given us many types of information servers in the research and academic communities: anonymous FTP [2], Gopher [3], Wais [4], News [5], and the World Wide Web [6], which is now the most used multimedia information system on the Internet. It is user-friendly and can be used to interface existing information systems and to build new information services in the medical field. We propose to investigate (not exhaustively) the functionalities and applications of the system in medicine; we also present our own experiences of using WWW to distribute medical information.

Abstract: The notion of a learning society has long been promoted as the next stage of evolution of the educational system from the inculation of skills and knowledge to the development of capacities which enable people to learn continuously for the rest of their lives. This evolutionary step is vital to the continued health of human societies in a post-modern age of rapid and unceasing change where the certainties of the past have been replaced by the uncertainties of a future that requires continuous learning. The move to a learning society requires changes in personal attitudes and the educational infrastructure. It also requires major technological support to provide open access to a learning environment for all people, in all places at all times. This paper presents progress in the development of the Learning Web, an agent-oriented network supporting knowledge access, collaboration and simulation, in order to provide a widely accessible learning environment. The essence of the Learning Web is an open architecture supporting integration of heterogeneous subsystems in which their is a natural symbiosis between human and computer agents.

Abstract: The World Wide Web is a hypertext-based, platform-independent means of displaying text, graphic, audio, and video information over the Internet. Twenty million people now use the Internet, and the number of World Wide Web sites is well over one million and growing rapidly. Web sites are available all over the world, although most are located in the United States. Importantly, the Web's design is consistent with many of our information gathering instincts. It encourages browsing and experimentation and allows each person at computer sites around the world to design unique ways to present and use information. The author discusses its practical applications, explains how hypertext works, and discusses how it is can be used by power utilities. Reserving a password and gaining access to the World Wide Web are also discussed. >

Abstract: This paper provides an overview of recent developments on the World Wide Web from a cartographer's perspective. The first section briefly describes how the Web came to be and discusses the conceptual models that control the Web's functionality. The second section of the paper is an overview of a variety of cartographic Web resources (ranging from federal to commercial to educational) that are available on the Web. These sites offer tremendous resources for use in the classroom, research, and even leisure activities. The paper concludes with examples of two Internet projects that make extensive use of cartographic materials: the Geograpliy Virh1al Department (out of the University of Texas Austin) and the Bosnian Virtual Fieldtrip (out of George Mason University).

Abstract: Over the last few years there has been a phenomenal growth in the use of WWW (World Wide Web) for a wide variety of purposes from advertising and publicity, to collaborative work and teaching.

Abstract: Once the domain of engineering techies and university computer gurus, the Internet has taken a popular route into business and homes. With the breakthrough of the World Wide Web (the Web), use of the Internet has grown astonishingly, doubling each year for the last couple of years. Many think that Internet usage is shallow and short term, but other companies are becoming less skeptical. Marketing and communications are two reasons why utilities, businesses, and organizations of all sorts are setting up shop on the Web. Corporation and associations have established home pages where a company can disseminate information about itself. the number of Web sites doubles every 53 days. Electric utilities have taken note of the number of users and about 40 had developed home pages as of Labor Day. This article examines some of these utilities and how they are using their Web sites to provide not only standard corporate information, press releases, and financial information, but also to personalize their contact with their customer base.
