Theme ***** Security and privacy are an indispensable enabler for novel business networking applications. Examples of such systems include energy allocation coordinated by smart grids, healthcare services with electronic records, traffic management with personal sensors, RFID in retail and logistics, and integration of individuals' social network information into goods and services. Such adaptive systems are enabled by recent technological advances, such as standardization of web services, flexible business process management "in the large", middleware for distributed computing, or smart objects with their on-demand orchestration as ICT services. However, a number of challenges appear on the way to widely adopting such new business models based upon these technologies and realizing their sprouting options. The challenges refer particularly to the construction of secure systems, the runtime control as well as auditing for adherence with security, compliance, and privacy policies in spite of the inherent dynamic character of adaptive systems. Furthermore, such systems are "data-centric" by definition. This causes hitherto unprecedented extent of data collection and usage conflicting with security and privacy concerns of users and business partners. Hence, realizing new business models building upon dynamic business networks demand sound methods and scalable tools for tackling these security and privacy challenges.

Topics ****** This special issue calls for original papers on methodologies, technologies, case-studies and best practices addressing problems of security and privacy in on-demand, inter-organizational orchestrated ICT systems for business networks. The special issue very much welcomes contributions from academia, industry and business practice on the following non-exhaustive list of topics: * Best Practices, Methodologies, Cost/Benefit Assessments * Big Data Analytics * Business Continuity Plan and Business Continuity Management * Control Mechanisms and Technologies * Critical Information Infrastructure Protection * Dependability and Security * Distributed Policy Management * Economics of Control * Inter-organizational Risk Assessment and Management * Resilience in Business Networking * Business Process Management in the Large * Security Certification and Auditing * Privacy-aware Business Intelligence
