Information and Collaboration Models of Integration (NATO Science Series E: Applied Sciences, Volume 259)

The more we invest in computer systems, the less we seem to be able to find the information when we need it, especially if it is distributed across organizations. This book presents the recent developments and applications in information systems integration and collaboration which are necessary to understand the new multidisciplinary approaches for their modeling. The main contribution of these models: the design and evaluation of how to integrate and how to collaborate in order to benefit from the information.
