___the book_________________________________________________

  “today's knowledge workers have access to practically  
   endless amounts of information resources. 
   however, this information alone is of no use if it 
   cannot be reasonably retrieved and organized.” 

   visuos™ offers strategies and concepts for the next   
   generation of knowledge work and hypermedia systems. 
   the aspects of knowledge work and interaction with   
   knowledge spaces are analyzed. existing approaches are 
   investigated and assessed.

   the introduced strategies are applied to an innovative,   
   full featured operating software. modules for visual  
   queries, knowledge management, process management, and 
   link management are presented and documented in detail.


___the book’s website_______________________________________

   http://visuos.com features:
 - extracts of the book 
 - animated full-screen presentation of the concepts 
 - reviews and comments of readers

___comments by readers______________________________________

   prof. dr. terry winograd
   stanford, california - dept. of computer science:
    “Lango's work certainly shows a great deal of
     background understanding and creative design [
]. 
     There are a number of nice design touches throughout 
     the interface, [
] which is far more aesthetically 
     pleasing than the conventional GUI window system." 

   prof. bernhard e. bürdek
   hfg - offenbach am main
    “Since Vannevar Bush's legendary article “As We May 
     Think” (1945) the design of databases is considered as 
     a signifying issue of the 20th century, but now proving 
     its actual payload. [
] 
     The exceptional and groundbreaking work on      
     Information Visualization of the American author Edward 
     E. Tufte absolutely requires continuative and 
     substantiating appliance  therefore the work of 
     Clemens Lango absolutely is a significant building 
     block.”
