This book focuses on three interdependent challenges related to managing transitions
toward sustainable development, namely mapping sustainability for global knowledge
e-networking, extending the value chain of knowledge and e-networking, and engaging
in explorations of new methods and venues for further developing knowledge and e-networking.
While each of these challenges constitutes fundamentally different types of endeavors,
they are highly interconnected. Jointly, they contribute to our expansion of knowledge
and its applications in support of transitions toward sustainable development. The
central theme of this book revolves around ways of transcending barriers that impede
the use of knowledge and knowledge networking in transitions toward sustainability.
In order to transcend these barriers, we examine the potential contributions of innovations
in information technologies as well as computation and representation of attendant
complexities. A related theme addresses new ways of managing information and systematic
observation for the purpose of enhancing the value of knowledge. Finally, this book
shows applications of new methodologies and related findings that would contribute
to our understanding of sustainablity issues that have not yet been explored. In many
ways, this is a book of theory and of practice; and it is one of methods as well as
policy and performance
