Written for both scholars and practitioners, this volume focuses on the design, management, use and impacts of Virtual Communities (VCs) from technological, social and economic perspectives. It brings together peer-reviewed research articles that give an in-depth review of the state-of-the-art practices, and also shows opportunities for research and practice in and around VCs.

By using various data inputs, ubiquitous computing systems detect their current usage context, automatically adapt their services to the user's situational needs and interact with other services or resources in their environment on an ad-hoc basis.
Designing such self-adaptive, context-aware knowledge processing systems is, in itself, a formidable challenge. This book presents core findings from the VENUS project at the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Information System Design (ITeG) at Kassel University, where researchers from different fields, such as computer science,...

Jan Marco Leimeister stellt ein Modell fur den bedarfsgerechten Aufbau und Betrieb einer Virtuellen Community (VC) vor, das als Grundlage fur die Pilotierung einer VC fur Krebspatienten (krebsgemeinschaft.de) dient. Die bei der systematischen Entwicklung zugrunde gelegten Designelemente und Erfolgsfaktoren werden anhand der Akzeptanz und des Nutzens des Angebots evaluiert und empirisch untermauerte Erkenntnisse zum systematischen Aufbau und Betrieb von VC fur Patienten im deutschen Gesundheitswesen abgeleitet.
