Abstract

One of the beauties of the Web is its lack of centralized control and the possibility for anyone to contribute content and functionalities. The Web is therefore a self-organizing system. In this chapter, we look at the Web through the lenses of self-organization and its implications on the Web’s growth, structure, success, and ways of searching for information.
