SESERV
The socio-economic aspects that affect the Internet are as complex and interwoven as society itself.
This complexity is based on the interdependence of those disciplines that study changes in human nature. Where economics, political science, humanities, psychology and law are linked to concepts like privacy, freedom of expression, intellectual property and social networks but also to topics like education, security, regulation, private life, communication, business, trust, intangible incentives, to name but a few.
HCI & UX Network & Service ManagementProject Outcomes
People studying the impact of the Internet on human life are asking fundamental questions about the evolution of society and the economy: Do social networks drive democracy? Should governments censor and filter digital content? Where’s the value in the digital economy? How do people decide in a world full of contextual information? Meanwhile, engineers and scientists continue to develop new Future Internet technologies that promise to provide more relevant, efficient and durable solutions to challenges of today and tomorrow. Everyone has a view on what matters... everyone has something of value to say.
SESERV bridged the gap between those who study and those who build the Internet by supporting discussion and debate within the multidisciplinary community of researchers and professionals working on Future Internet Socio Economics. SESERV discovered new perspectives on Future Internet research by considering the viewpoints from different disciplines such as computer science, engineering, social sciences, economics and policy.
