Industry Reviews

From the reviews: "The field of collaborative networks has seen remarkable progress over the last 10 to 15 years in terms of research and practical applications. ! This book was developed mostly based on this project, over approximately the last four years. Its goal is to contribute to the establishment of that theoretical foundation. ! The book could be seminal for researchers and practitioners." (J. Fendrich, ACM Computing Reviews, January, 2009)
