Each submission was reviewed in a double-blind review process by an average of four independent reviewers to ensure quality and maintain high standards. Out of the papers submitted, 26 got blind referee ratings that published them as full papers, which means that the acceptance rate was below 17%. Some other submissions were published as short papers, reflection papers, doctoral papers and poster demonstrations.  The authors of the best papers will be invited to provide revised and expanded versions of their papers in the International Journal of Web Portals (IJWP) - special issue http://www.igi-global.com/ijwp (ISSN: 1938-0194) and in the Journal of Theoretical and Applied Electronic Commerce Research http://www.jtaer.com/ (ISSN 0718–1876).   In addition to the presentation of full papers, short papers, reflection papers, doctoral papers and poster demonstrations, the conference also includes two keynotes presentation from internationally distinguished researcher. We would therefore like to express our gratitude to Dr. Peter Dell, School of Information Systems, Curtin University, Australia and Associate Professor Catherine McLoughlin, Australian Catholic University, Canberra, Australia.     xiiiA successful conference requires the effort of many individuals.

The supply of IP addresses, used by every device connected to the Internet and analogous to a phone number, is rapidly dwindling and will be completely exhausted by around January 2012.  A new version of Internet Protocol, known as IPv6, was standardised more than a decade ago but has not been widely adopted and thus the transition to IPv6 will be a bumpy one – if indeed it happens at all.  Either way, the Internet tomorrow will be different from the Internet as we know it today.  This presentation will explore why the transition to IPv6 has not happened in the way the technical community had hoped, will describe potential Internet scenarios in the medium-term, and will investigate some of the possible social and economic consequences.  21ST CENTURY LEARNING AND HIGHER EDUCATION PEDAGOGY: WHAT IS CHANGING AND HOW DO WE CAPITALISE ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES?   By Associate Professor Catherine McLoughlin, Australian Catholic University, Canberra, Australia   Abstract   Several major technology trends that are playing a role in shaping the future of higher education globally are ubiquity, mobility, personalization and virtualization. This keynote address offers a global view of changes in higher education and a conceptual framework for understanding the challenges and opportunities involved in rethinking curricula to transform schooling for the 21st century. The rationale draws on changes in the global economy, the impact of ICT on communication, learning and everyday life and shifts in the outcomes expected of millennial learners. A contextualised conceptual framework for 21st century pedagogy and learning is proposed that includes a global, lifelong learning perspective powered by technological change and an evolving learning society.  xx
