The age of digital transformation opens up exciting new avenues for design
and application of ICTs.  Yet, with the ubiquitous connectedness of a
digitally transformed world, come unintended, unpredictable and often
adverse consequences for individuals, societies and organisations – in
developed and developing contexts.  Security, privacy, trustworthiness,
exploitation and well-being are some of the pressing concerns resulting
from new digital realities.

There is need for responsible design, implementation and use of information
systems (IS) based on critical awareness and ethical practices. As rightly
put by Schultze (2017: 65): *“As IS researchers we need to examine our own
practices - including the questions we ask, the methods we deploy and
theories we adopt – to understand and critically review our world-making”.*

The 19th IFIP Conference (6-8 April 2020) aims to bring together
contributions from a variety of perspectives, disciplines and communities
for the advancement of knowledge regarding responsible design,
implementation and use of information and communications technology. To
this end, we invite scholars, practitioners and research students to submit
and present their papers and findings to the 19th IFIP Conference on
e-Business, e-Services, and e-Society to be held in April 2020 in South
Africa.

*Submission guidelines*

Computer Science (LNCS) by Springer (TBC).
