Abstract

In this paper future trends regarding Web-based interaction patterns are identified and put into the context of currently dominating communication models. The resulting evolution model is employed to illustrate potential approaches to developing Web Information Systems (WIS) matching the specific requirements and characteristics of each evolutionary stage. Cybernetic feedback loops are introduced to explain suitable WIS development approaches with an emphasis on communication and are applied to derive and evaluate the attributes of such approaches.
