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.
