Large-Scale Integrated Academic Portals

Abstract

The increasing availability of fixed/wireless network connectivity and the integration of telecommunication systems and the Internet create novel opportunities for users who can benefit from anytime-anywhere access to a growing amount of Internet/intranet Web information. In particular, university communities clearly perceive the potential benefits of widespread availability of Web-based services, which should satisfy heterogeneous requirements from different classes of users, for example, students, teachers, administrative and technical staffs.
