The World Wide Web has changed almost every aspect of modern life. It touches us all. The Web's billions of pages, links and other resources comprise the largest information fabric in the history of humanity. Yet the Web is rarely approached as an object of scientific study. What processes have driven the Web's growth, and will they persist? How does large-scale structure emerge from a simple set of protocols? How does the Web work as a socio-technical system? What drives the viral uptake of certain Web phenomena? What might fragment the Web? This interdisciplinary meeting will discuss these and other issues as it presents the components of a Science of the Web. The speakers are Prof. Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, Prof. Manuel Castells, Dr Jennifer Chayes, Prof. Ramesh Jain, Lord Robert May, Prof. David Karger, Dr Anne-Marie Kermarrec, Prof. Jon Kleinberg, Prof. Pierre Levy, Prof. Helen Margetts, Prof. Robin Milner, Prof. Luis von Ahn, Prof. Jianping Wu, Prof. Jonathan Zittrain.

Yang-yang is a French-Chinese mix. She has never seen her French father. She does not speak a single French word. Her mum has re-married but she has been very lonely. She started working at the entertainment industry. The fact that she is a mix is a good selling point. The film depicts how Yang-yang dealt with her life, her relationships with men, with her mother and friends.
