Call for Papers for

a Special Issue of the
Journal of Information, Communication & Society
<http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t713699183~db=all>

on
Information and Communication Technologies and Sustainable Development
Deadline for Submission: March 1, 2008
Tentative Publication Date: November, 2008

The objective of this special issue is to discuss current 
developments in the field of ICTs and Sustainable Development (SD) by 
providing a forum for both academic researchers and practitioners 
interested in broadening and deepening the understanding of the 
sustainability concept.

In the discourse on sustainability there has been a shift from a 
focus on ecological issues towards the inclusion of broader societal 
issues. The so called 'Agenda 21' (1992) in the Rio 'Earth Summit' 
stated four mutually independent dimensions of sustainability: 
ecological, economic, social, and cultural. Such a perspective 
becomes especially important if one wants to formulate indicators for 
sustainability. How did so far, can in principle, and could in 
future, a more comprehensive approach like this influence the 
understanding of how ICTs can help foster SD?

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work, not under 
consideration for publication elsewhere, with a theory, research or 
practice focus on the relationship of ICTs and SD.

Authors may submit articles up to 7,000 words in length by sending an 
electronic version preferably in Word to the following address only: 
robert.bichler at sbg.ac.at
