    ****************************************************************

The evolution of organizations' behaviors and business architectures
from their natural to digital forms and the increasing impact of the
information and communication technologies (ICTs) on every facet of
socio-economic activities are creating new possibilities for business
and commerce. Support of this evolution requires convergent, adaptive
and interoperable environments that can sustain and aid social
networking, business needs and market trends.



DigiBiz 2009 intends to discuss the intersection of electronic commerce, 
the evolution of business models, the increased liquidity of competition 
through
increased availability of information, and the impact internet redesign
for the existing and future businesses. To this end, we solicit workshop 
sessions that analyze and discuss innovative business models, new
forms of enablement for digital businesses, community-centric
technologies and their role in business as well as cutting edge future
internet research with the focus on the socio-economic aspects of these
developments.

Workshop proposals for DigiBiz 2009 are solicited.  Both 
well-established workshops and newer or brand new ones are encouraged. 
Similarly, proposals for workshops with a tight focus on core 
technologies, models and approaches, as well as those with a broader, 
more applied focus, are very welcome. International research or 
collaborative Working Groups are also invited to organize sessions 
around their own research agenda.

WORKSHOP TOPICS:
We encourage the submission of workshop proposals aligned with all 
aspects related to digital businesses and their enablement today and in 
the future, including, but not limited to, the following:
+ new (digital) business models;
+ new forms of business strategy evaluations;

+ models for evaluating value chain dynamics;

+ economic modeling of new technical architecture propositions;
