Before the invention of the World Wide Web, computer communications were mainly associated with the data transmission and reception among computers. The invention of the Web by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989, led to a deep change of this paradigm, imposing the share of information over the data transmission. After the invention of the Web, Internet refers to the global information system that is logically linked through a global unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP) and is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) architecture and/or other IP-compatible protocols, and provides, uses or makes accessible information and communication services world wide.

The World Wide Web, also known as WWW, Web or W3, represents the greatest networked repository of human knowledge accessible worldwide. The Web contains billions of objects and documents, which may be accessed by hundreds of million of users around the world and it became indispensable for people, institutions or organizations. The search of information in the current Web is based on the use of robust and practical applications known as search engines and directories. However, the fast and unorganized growth of the Web is making difficult to locate, share, access, present or maintain on-line trustful contents for an increasing number of users. Difficulties in the search of web contents are associated to the use of non-structured, sometimes heterogeneous information, and to the ambiguity of Web content. Thus, one of the limitations of the current Web is the lack of structure of its documents and the information contained in them. Besides, information overload and poor aggregation of contents make the current Web inadequate for automatic transfers of information. As a consequence, the current Web may evolve for a new generation Web called Semantic Web, in which data and services are understandable and usable not only by humans but also by computers. Moreover, in the future, the Semantic Web may further evolve to a Sentient Web, which is a further new generation of Web with capabilities for sentience.

Linear and Nonlinear Multivariable Feedback Control: A Classical Approach
Linear and Nonlinear Multivariable Feedback Control: A Classical Approach

Automatic feedback control systems play crucial roles in many fields, including manufacturing industries, communications, naval and space systems. At its simplest, a control system represents a feedback loop in which the difference between the ideal (input) and actual (output) signals is used to modify the behaviour of the system. Control...
