The recent advancements of mobile technologies, especially the <br>smartphone and high-speed wireless network, have enabled a plethora of <br>innovative services that are not only changing the business landscape, <br>but also greatly affecting individual consumers and societies at large.<br>
To catch up with this rapidly emerging trend, research is needed to <br>address issues such as, how can organizations, both private and public,<br> leverage on the unique capabilities of mobile technologies to serve <br>
their customers? What should consumers do to ensure they can enjoy the <br>benefits of mobile while at the time not troubled by its associated <br>issues, e.g., security and privacy intrusion? What are the implications <br>
of mobile technology development to societies in terms of, e.g., work <br>arrangement and public welfare?<br> <br><br>We invite research articles that provide insights into all aspects of mobile <br>technologies with attention paid to issues related to their enabled services <br>
and implications at different levels (individual consumers, organizations, societies) <br>and in different contexts (public, private). Articles of conceptual, analytical, <br>or empirical nature, which develop or extend theory and practice, are welcome.<br>
<br>Possible topics of interest include (but are not limited to):<br><br> - Theory of mobile technologies and services<br> - Mobile applications and business models<br> - Consumer behaviors in the mobile context<br>
- Mobile social networking services<br> - Strategies and policies in exploiting mobile capabilities<br> - Mobile targeting and personalization<br> - Privacy and security issues of mobile applications<br> - Mobile gaming<br>
- Mobile payment<br> - Design issues related to mobile devices and applications<br> - Social, political, and legal implications of mobile technologies and services <br><br>A number of high quality journals have agreed to collaborate with PACIS 2014 by fast tracking <br>
to special issues, including Communications of the Association for Information Systems, <br>Information and Management, Journal of the Associations for Information Systems. <br>For more details please check <a href="http://www.pacis2014.org/journal.php">http://www.pacis2014.org/journal.php</a>.<br>
