particularly those related to the adoption, use and implications of information and communication technology. We are seeking papers that engage theoretically with the subject area and/or signify pioneering applications and developments. The objective is to present work that is transformative and which embraces serious intellectual discussion. Scholarly endeavour that unearths nascent areas of academic study, or progressively questions existing paradigms and epistemological applications will be most welcome. This track will thus attempt to encourage a multi-disciplinary academic forum for the cross-pollination of ideas between the applied and social scientific perspectives. The overall aim of this track is to present a new agenda for future research and theoretical exposition. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xmsonormal><b><span
