Objective
To provide statistics and derive indicators about the impact on the new economy of the presence of the European Science-Technology-Economy system in the cyberspace using new methods involving agent technologies, taking into account social impact and making special emphasis in Internet visualisation and dissemination of the indicators.
Objectives:
The primary objective is to offer statistics and to derive indicators about the European Science-Technology-Economy System in Internet. This objective will be achieved with the development of new technologies (agents) to recover data from the net in an automatic way and the application of new models and concepts to uncover relationships between the actors of the New Economy, using advanced tools as graph theory, complexity and chaos theories and social network analysis.
In order to test some of the models proposed, a series of case studies involving different and complementary aspects specially relevant to the European scenario will be analysed.
As an ultimate aim, we stress the measurement and evaluation of the impact of the information technologies in the Society as a whole and on the citizens and their quality of living. The indicators will be disseminated in an open user-friendly graphical environment using new web visualisation techniques.
Work description
The project is organised in several consecutive tasks as follows:
- Physical Internet Data Collection: A review of the cybergeography and cyberdemographics of the OECD countries to provide a background about physical Internet main figures;
- Web Data Collection: Selecting EU R&D public sector as source of data, an automatic web information collection system using agent technology will be developed to provide the statistics for the analysis;
- New tools: In order to monitor Web users behaviour two site analysis tools will be developed to follow information usage of generic web users and On-line Bibliographic Database available though web gateways;
- Case studies: Devoted to the study of the Web effects on institutions and geographical space, considering several cases to better understanding patterns such as University-Industry-Government Relations;
- Balkanisation and Globalisation;
and the Transborder Regions- Intermediaries in the Digital Economy.
The new role of intermediary requires a deep analysis- Indicators processing and the analysis of the New Economy.
In order to derive indicators from that databases, it is intended to apply powerful methodological tools for quantitative processing such as graph theory, complexity and chaos theories and social network analysis. The aim is to understand and generate models about the dynamics of the New Economy. Uncovering relationships among R&D sector, industry, economic sectors, culture and society. The core of the EICSTES proposal intends to test the web indicators for describing and analysing the emerging information society, socio-economic phenomena and the so-called "New Economy"- Visualization & Dissemination. The indicators of the New Economy will be disseminated in an universal user-friendly (graphic) environment based in new techniques of Web visualisation.
