The Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research is
planning a special issue on Ubiquitous Media Systems.
As of 2014, the total number of all types of mobile-connected devices
has exceeded the world's population and is forecasted to reach 1.5
devices per human being in 2019 [1]. The pace of the emergence and
mainstream adoption of new forms of ubiquitous computing devices such
as smartphones, tablets and `phablets' has not ceased gaining momentum
- demarking an evolutionary step in the ubiquitous computing trend [2].
The extinction of mobile phones and the proliferation of fluid
multi-device platforms such as iOS, Android and Windows 8 have blurred
the traditional boundaries between stationary and mobile information
systems [3], [4].
This dissolution of the traditional segmentation of computing contexts
represents a remarkable shift in the fundamental temporospatial nature
of IT artifacts [5], [6]. Indeed, individuals are gradually ceasing to
perceive their mobile and non-mobile devices as independent ecosystems,
but rather as an evolving collection of interconnected devices that are
progressively playing a major role in their daily lives [7], [8]. This
significant technological evolution has given birth to a new and
complex form of connected IT artifact, Ubiquitous Media Systems (UMS),
that encapsulates various functions and provides fluid information
access across a variety of channels; allowing users to accomplish a
multitude of tasks and interact fluidly in a ubiquitous ecosystem [4].
As information access becomes fully ubiquitous and the utilitarian, as
well as hedonic functionalities of those devices increase, the
emergence of fluid and evolving techno-ecosystems poses important
challenges and opportunities for ecommerce theory and practice. By
gradually blurring physical, social and temporal boundaries ubiquitous
media systems allow to deliver new as well as existing online products
and services through a multitude of interconnected channels, but also
engender radically novel and unthought-of opportunities for e-commerce
[9]-[11].
Ubiquitous access to the Internet of things also represents new
marketing opportunities for businesses as well as the challenge to
deeply understand users' behavior in this fluid digital ecosystem [12].
Apprehending ubiquitous media systems user behavior is a difficult
challenge as the rules that govern its functioning keep being redefined
each time a new form of connected device appears on the market [13],
[14].
Unfortunately, the understanding of the specificities that surround
ubiquitous media systems in the electronic and mobile commerce contexts
is also limited in information systems research [15], [16]. There is a
general tendency to focus on individual or subsets of devices,
functionalities, or sub-phenomena, which leads to a fragmented and
distorted understanding of the ubiquitous media systems reality [17],
[18]. This new, complex, interconnected and amalgamated form of IT
artifact requires a more holistic and encompassing research approach
that is capable of capturing the specificities and pervasiveness of
ubiquitous media systems.
Subject Coverage
The objective of this Special Issue is to present the current state of
research and practical experiences on ubiquitous media systems from the
perspective of electronic commerce research. Particularly we welcome
interdisciplinary research that is able to connect theory and practice;
aiming to break the traditional conceptual research boundaries dividing
stationary and mobile systems. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:
1. Usability of ubiquitous media systems
2. System fluidity - seamless access across multiple devices
3. The impact of ubiquitous environments on productivity
4. Legal, social ethical issues regarding ubiquitous media systems
5. Multi-channel ecommerce applications and strategy
6. Trust, loyalty, and privacy issues in ubiquitous media systems
7. Security in ubiquitous media systems
8. Ubiquitous media systems and new business models
9. Challenges and specificities for payment systems
10. Big data and ubiquitous media systems
Notes for Intending Authors
We are seeking original, innovative, and scientifically rigorous papers
presenting practical experiences, methodological challenges, or impacts
of ubiquitous media systems. Especially empirical research, case
studies or theory based qualitative and quantitative studies, are
welcome.
Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be
currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Author guidelines can be found at

refereed by at least three reviewers. Submissions should be directed by
email to jtaer.ums at utalca.cl.
