>>  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  Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished work, not under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_
