Motivation

The evolution of the organizations' behaviours and business architectures from their natural to digital forms and the increasing impact the information and communication technologies (ICTs) on every facet of socio-economic activities are creating new possibilities for business and commerce. Support of this evolution requires convergent, adaptive and interoperable environments that can sustain and support the evolution of social networking, business needs and market trends. The event intends to widely discuss the intersection of electronic commerce, the evolution of business models, the increased liquidity of competition through increased availability of information, and the impact of desires to re-design the Internet on existing and future businesses.

For this, the event solicits original, high-quality research and position papers that analyze and discuss innovative business models, new forms of enablements for digital businesses, community-centric technologies and their role in business as well as cutting edge Future Internet research with an angle on the socio-economic aspects of these developments
