Introduction
Michael Evans, with a background in web engineering, has a Ph.D. in distributed information systems. His PhD thesis, 'A Model for Managing Information Flow on the World Wide Web', represents his current research interests: information flow and the semantic web. He has worked in academia and industry on several large research projects in telecommunications, the web, and e-learning. Having worked at all levels of the web, from designing new mark-up languages down to the telecommunications protocols that ultimately carry its bits, he is now researching above the web to model the emerging information flows conveyed by its content. His research interests lie in the fields of memetics, situation theory, web dynamics, and web semantics.
