_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.
