Call for Papers: Transformation in a Connected World

A special issue of International Journal of Electronic Business

The Internet and the Web are continuously evolving. Their changing incarnations such as Web 2.0, e-services and service-oriented architectures, and cloud computing and convergence with mobile Internet are transforming the way traditional activities are undertaken, and are having a dramatic impact on many aspects of modern society.
