CALL FOR PAPERS AND TUTORIALS
=============================
FIFTH INTERNATIONAL MCETECH CONFERENCE
23-26 January, 2011

Les Diablerets, Switzerland

The Internet and the Web are continuously evolving. Their changing incarnations such as Web 2.0, services and service-oriented architectures, cloud computing and convergence with mobile Internet are transforming the way traditional activities are undertaken and having a dramatic impact on many aspects of modern society. Companies, governments and users are continuously challenged to follow up and take advantage of the potential benefits and power of digital technologies.  Successful transformation to meet new challenges and opportunities is a multi-faceted problem, involving vision and skills, but also many technological, managerial, economic, organisational, and legal issues.

MCETECH 2011 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in exploring the transformation of a newly connected world through its multiple facets, with a focus on the technological, managerial, economic, and organisational questions. Original and inter-disciplinary approaches to these problems are highly encouraged.

Authors focusing on the technological aspects are encouraged to highlight managerial, economic, or organizational implications of their work. Conversely, authors focusing on the managerial, economic, or organizational aspects are encouraged to highlight the technological dimension.

The program committee will award a Best Paper Award to the best research paper in terms of 1) originality, 2) presentation, and 3) impact. Extended versions of the finalist papers shall be submitted to a journal special issue (journal to be determined). All accepted research papers will be published in the Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing, published by Springer Verlag.

The conference also includes an industrial track, providing a forum for practitioners to present problems and case studies that have benefited from, or could benefit from, Internet technologies in their business.
