The Web is becoming smarter. Tomorrow's Intelligent Web won't just pass raw information between people through search engines and browsers: it will become a packager of knowledge. It will recognize our speech. And it will lose its dependence on wires, becoming ever more useful as it delivers knowledge to anyone, anytime, anywhere. While progress is being made in wireless mobile devices, speech recognition, and intelligent software, the Intelligent Wireless Web will require the integration of all these advances, and more. This book reveals the "big picture," showing how all these disparate technologies will cooperate, where they conflict, and what it will take for professionals to design and build the next-generation Intelligent Web. The authors show how user interfaces will evolve from click to speech; preview next-generation wireless personal area networks; explain how networks will evolve to an integrated wired/wireless infrastructure; cover next-generation mobile IP protocols; review AI improvements that are making the Web far smarter; and show how the Web's architecture is moving from "dumb and static" to "intelligent and dynamic." For all product designers, engineers, software developers, and other technical innovators.
