Books by International Federation for Information Processing

Many organisations are using an increased range of information technologies to support a variety of new organisational practices and organisational forms. The book also considers the social process of shifting from present organisational structures and practices to new ones.

This year, forty papers were received of which sixteen were presented as full papers and four were presented as poster papers. Although we received many excellent papers the program committee decided to keep the number of full presentations low in order to accommodate more discussion in keeping with the format of a workshop.
