Call for Special Sessions

Competitive Advantage in the Digital Economy 2022 (CADE 2022)
Returning for its eighth year, CADE will be held between the 13th and 15th June 2022. After one year online due to COVID-19, CADE will return to Venice, Italy in a blended format, allowing participants to attend physically or virtually. Details of the format can be found here.
CADE aims to provide opportunities for academics and practitioners to share the latest research and practice on topics related to the research themes of Resilience, Sustainability, Responsibility and Identity. Participants will be able to present in a friendly environment where emphasis is on discussion and development of the work presented. There are awards for best paper and best developmental paper with the latter being for ECRs and PhD students.
The conference proceedings will be published by the IET and will be available through the IET Digital Library and IEEE Xplore. The proceedings will be indexed through the major databases Scopus (Elsevier); Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics); ProQuest; NLM (US National Library of Medicine); and CrossRef.
Call for Special Sessions
We welcome proposals for special sessions that are in the broad area of Digital Economy or the research themes of Resilience, Sustainability, Responsibility and Identity.
Like the main conference, special sessions could accept extended abstracts (2 pages) or full papers (6 papers). The review process for special sessions should be handled by the session organisers. All submissions should undergo a blind review process, with at least two reviewers for each paper, against the following criteria:
- Topic suitability to the conference
- Justification of the purpose
- Appropriate theoretical background (where appropriate)
- Robustness of the research methodology
- Alignment between the findings/discussion and the objectives/purpose of the research
- Relevance of the contributions to theory and practice
Applications are welcomed from a range of disciplines, including, but not limited to: marketing, HR, operations and supply chain management, strategy, behavioural sciences, economics, philosophy of engineering and technology, information systems, computer science, and cyber security. We would particularly like to encourage submissions from scholars in the wider community including anthropologists, sociologists, data scientists and those from design disciplines interested in the digital economy.
All special session participants will be expected to pay the conference registration fee; see the conference website for details.
