Electronic Commerce on Mobile Commerce (m-commerce)

Revised manuscripts due: 15 August 2011

Overview
Mobility represents a natural human state, hence mobile commerce
(m-commerce) has been hailed as the complement, and in many aspects a
natural successor to traditional desk-bound e-commerce. The proliferation of
smartphones and wireless networks has brought the dream of seamless mobility
and always-on connectivity closer to reality - albeit not without new
challenges related to technologies, platforms, systems, applications, and
business models to name but a few.
The goal of this special issue is to report frontier research addressing the
current status and future prospects of m-commerce and to reflect on business
innovation and social transformation through mobility. The issue aims to
offer an integrated view of the field by presenting approaches originating
from and drawing upon multiple disciplines.
The special issue welcomes theoretical, experimental, or survey-based
studies that make a significant novel contribution to the field. Submissions
should describe original, previously unpublished research, not currently
under review by another conference or journal. Topics include, but are not
limited to, the following:
. Theoretical foundations of m-commerce
. Mobile-driven business models
. User behavior and innovation diffusion in m-commerce
. Context-aware and location-aware business
. Mobile communities and social networking
. Strategies, policies, economics and societal implications of m-commerce
. Privacy, security, trust and regulation in m-commerce
. Innovation in horizontal and vertical applications: mHealth; mGovernment;
mLearning; mEntertainment; mPayments; mMarketing/Advertising; mSCM/CRM;
mParticipation; and others
