Welcome to the mini-track of
ICT Issues in the Greater China Region
During the last three decades, China has made dramatic progresses and Chinese economy has been increasingly integrated into world economy. This mini-track is mainly concerned with the role that information and communication technologies (ICT) have been playing in this process. For the purpose of this mini-track, the term Greater China Region refers to the geographical area of Chinese culture with regard to the economic development, not to political entities. This includes the economies of China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, and extends to countries like Malaysia or Singapore whose national economies are strongly impacted by Chinese owned and/or managed businesses as well as large numbers of Chinese consumers. Driven by the fast growing economy many companies in this region have launched ambitious strategic plans in ICT, and governments have been pursuing aggressive policies to open up new business opportunities and to reinforce the development of the ICT industry specifically and the adoptions of ICT across industries in general.
This mini-track intends to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss ICT issues from the particular perspective of the Chinese background. All paper submissions need to address some issue that is specific to the Chinese setting.
