An understanding of human behavior and social interaction can contribute to our understanding of the Web, and data obtained from the Web can contribute to our understanding of human behavior and social interaction. This module gives an overview over the disciplines relevant to Web Science, and discusses in details the aspects relevant to computer sciences. |
