<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-CA">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.<span style=""> </span>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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-CA">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-CA">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-CA">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-CA">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
