Abstract

The world-wide-web was originally intended to be a global distributed information space for publishing and sharing of information. The concept of the Personal Web is to extend the design of the web beyond a global information space into a global platform for personal services that provides first class support from the perspectives of users. The objectives of the Personal Web include extending its architecture to provide support for the prospective memory tasks of users; reduction of working cognitive load; facilitation of engagement in users web tasks and ubiquitous web interactions across users computing ecosystem of devices. Building on recent advances in mobile and cloud technologies, the Personal Web will set a people-centric agenda for web technology advancement that will fundamentally change users experience with web.
