IWCBS 2014 - International Workshop for Collaborative e-Business Systems (IWCBS 2014)

As much of the competition occurs between services providers and services consumers along the logistics and supply chains, the main theme of IWCBS2014 is on collaborative e-business systems for supply chain management and logistics. The workshop attempts to address the resources planning, coordination and integration in order to develop long-term sustainable and beneficial business relationships among all the partners and consumers along the value chains. Development of well-cooperated and coordinated e-business environment is crucial. Information technology has significant roles in supporting more competitive supply chain network and logistics. For business stakeholders, the long-term sustainability and efficiency are to be increasingly important. Indeed, to appropriately address the balance between the community of buyers and sellers through collaboration and support is becoming urgent. The technology trend of supply chain management and logistics is heading towards all aspects of the integration, coordination and intelligent use of the network based resources. In practical deployment of the solutions, mobile or hand held devices are often involved.
