Call for Paper International Journal of Systems and Service-Oriented Engineering (IJSSOE) http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?id=34268 Special Issue on Mobile Business Collaboration (MBC) Systems and Services
The recent advancement of workflow technologies and adoption of the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has much facilitated the automation of business collaboration within and across organizations to increase their competiveness and responsiveness to the fast evolving global economic environment. The widespread of mobile technologies has further resulted in an increasing demand for the support of
Mobile Business Collaboration (MBC) across multiple platforms anytime and anywhere. Examples include supply-chain logistics, group calendars, and dynamic human resources planning. As mobile devices become more powerful, the adoption of mobile computing is imminent. However, mobile business collaboration is not merely porting the software with an alternative user interface, but rather involves a wide range of new requirements, constraints, and technical challenges.
Today the creation, operation, and evolution of such research and practice raise concerns that range from high-level requirements and policy modeling through to the deployment of specific implementation technologies and paradigms, and involve a wide (and ever-growing) range of methodologies, tools, and technologies. They also cover a broad spectrum of vertical domains, industry segments, government and public services, from electronic and mobile commerce to real-time applications for extended enterprises and virtual communities.
We intentionally seeks scientists, engineers, educators, solution developers, policy makers, management, analysts, and others who have insight, vision, and understanding of the big challenges in Mobile Business Collaboration.
This special issue also aims at helping in communicating and disseminating relevant recent research across disciplines, cultures, and communities.
Topic include but not limited to:
Principles, theories, models, challenges, legal, and social issues of MBC MBC requirements, design, implementation, and case studies Inter- and Intra-organizational integration for mobile platforms Mobile databases, services, and workflows Multi-databases, federated databases, parallel, and distributed Databases for MBC Temporal, spatial, and mobile databases for MBC Data mining and knowledge discovery for MBC Context and location sensitive applications RFID and sensor data management for MBC Service Level Agreements (SLA), quality, and reliability Web Services and ontology support for MBC Contents management and man-machine interactions for MBC Agent based technologies for MBC Virtual organizations and supply-chain issues for MBC Trust, reputation, security, and privacy in MBC Web 2.0 and 3.0 for MBC Cloud computing for MBC
