Why this event? Globalization is defined by the spread and integration of people, goods, finance, knowledge and culture across the planet. Each of these dimensions of globalization has advanced since the dawn of civilization, at a pace determined by the available technologies for different purposes. E stands for electronic, D for digital and V for virtual. We would rather define the appearance of E, D and V as a phenomenon in e-society that takes place in a way where everyone can see objects and do things in a virtual world against a physical one; where everything is converted into digital formats and saved for use/reuse and represented in a virtual way; where everywhere is connected to a world wide web and any information, knowledge and services can be accessed by anyone, anywhere and anytime through any kind of devices. The conference aims to address the main issues of concern within WWW/Internet as well as to assess the influence of Internet in the Information Society. Broad areas of interest are Internet Technologies, Information Management, e-Society and Digital Divide, e-Learning, New Media and e-Society, Digital Services in e-Society.
