: En 'The Laws of the Web: Patterns in the Ecology of Information', Bernardo A. Huberman explora las regularidades ocultas dentro de la aparentemente caótica World Wide Web. A pesar de su crecimiento fortuito, la Web esconde patrones subyacentes poderosos, desde la organización de sus enlaces hasta los patrones encontrados en su uso por millones de usuarios. Muchos de estos patrones han sido predichos sobre la base de modelos teóricos basados en un campo de la física, la mecánica estadística, que pocos habrían pensado que se aplicaría al dominio social. El autor explica en un lenguaje accesible las leyes de la Web, mostrando cómo los patrones de navegación de los individuos pueden ser descritos por una ley precisa. Estos hallazgos pueden conducir a un diseño y uso más eficiente de la Web, y también arrojan luz sobre mecanismos sociales cuya importancia va más allá de la Web.

An accessible explanation of the hidden patterns found within the seemingly chaotic World Wide Web.
Despite its haphazard growth, the Web hides powerful underlying regularities--from the organization of its links to the patterns found in its use by millions of users. Many of these regularities have been predicted on the basis of theoretical models based on a field of physics--statistical mechanics--that few would have thought applicable to the social domain.
In this book, Bernardo Huberman explains in accessible language the laws of the Web. One of the foremost researchers in the field, Huberman has established, for example, that the surfing patterns of individuals are describable by a precise law. Such findings can lead to more efficient Web design and use. They also shed light on social mechanisms whose significance goes beyond the Web. In this sense, the Web is a gigantic informational ecosystem that can be used to quantify and test explanations of human behavior and social interaction.
