Next-gen digital services contribute to people’s well-being, inclusion, and sustainable development, re-shaping e-business, e-services, and e-society. Such services are pervasive both since they run on a large variety of heterogeneous devices and they permeate various aspects of daily life, by offering accessible and personalised experiences to all individuals. The proposed theme advocates for the design, implementation and operations of novel digital solutions that satisfy the needs of different individuals, while contributing to their well-being and to preserving the Planet.
The topical issue will focus on the papers accepted at the conference. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions with at least 30% new material, which will be subjected to the standard review process as per the journal’s editorial policies. The submitted manuscripts should include an appendix that clearly explains why the extended version includes at least 30% new material, pointing out the relevant parts of the manuscript. This appendix will be used only in the review process and won’t be included in the camera-ready version of the paper, if the paper is selected for inclusion in the special issue.
