However, some important aspects of cooperative networking we not discussed in detail, and therefore this paper deals with the questions on a scalable cooperative...

In this paper we present means of personalization for user-centered Web services provisioning. We focus on the different phases of interaction with services and show how a cooperative discovery algorithm can essentially improve the service provisioning.

Classical knowledge production is an author-centred process. The emergence of cooperative internet technologies like wikis or blogs show a shift towards stronger cooperative production and communication of knowledge, closing the gap between readers and authors.
