Service Autodiscovery for Rapid Information Movement

Service Autodiscovery for Rapid Information Movement might sound a little too geeky for you, but it’s worth a read. Daniel Chudnov and Jeremy Frumkin review several exciting recent advances in online information services, and in how users navigate through and move information between a multitude of resource types. They consider ways in which those advances bring us closer to, but still fall short of, meeting the ultimate user requirements of simplicity and coherence. They propose expanding on the model of “autodiscovery” as a means to enable both users and machines to move more freely between human and machine interfaces.
