Open source software (free software) has emerged as a major field of scientific inquiry across a number of disciplines. When the concept of open source began to gain mindshare in the global business community, decision makers faced a challenge: to convert hype and potential into sustainable profit and viable business models.

This volume addresses this challenge through presenting some of the newest, extensively peer-reviewed research in the area.

Do virtual museums really provide added value to end-users, or do they just contribute to the abundance of images?

Thomas Wagner untersucht die grundlegende Frage, welche raumlichen Informationen zur Navigation benotigt werden, wahrend aktuelle klassische Ansatze zur Navigation darauf fokussieren ein Maximum an Informationen zu verarbeiten. Der Autor zeigt formal wie auch in der Simulation, dass bei geeigneter Modellierung bereits reines egozentrisches Reihenfolgewissen (Ordnungsinformationen) ausreicht, um komplexe Navigationsleistungen robust zu vollbringen."
