L3S Research Center
L3S is a research center for basic and applied Web Science affiliated with Leibniz University Hannover (Germany). L3S researchers develop innovative methods and technologies that enable intelligent and seamless access to information on the Web, link individuals and communities in all aspects of the knowledge society, and connect the Internet to the real world and its institutions. L3S is also focused on transferring its knowledge and technology to society and the economy. Through cooperation and joint projects in the area of information retrieval, databases, semantic web, performance modeling, service computing and mobile networks, L3S has brought together numerous computer scientists with scientists from other disciplines, such as law, library science, linguistics, psychology, sociology and economics.
