***********************************************************************

Enterprise market constitutes a very large share of the ICT sector.
Normal market segmentation differentiates between big corporations for
which tailored solutions can be offered and SMEs, businesses and
professionals, for which generic solutions are designed, taking into
account the so called long tail effect.

In the ICT era of the 21st century, mobile services have a promising
outlook. Companies are no longer static, premises based. On the contrary
they have full mobility needs, with global customers that can be based
worldwide, a growing number of remote offices that need to be
interconnected, teleworkers that work from home, employees that are
always travelling, longer times out of office, etc.

On the other hand mobile technologies have evolved significantly over
the last years improving the performance offered to users: mobile
broadband thanks to 3.5G and beyond with growing coverage for several
Mbps bandwidth; more powerful mobile handsets that support more complex
applications and offer better user interfaces including larger screens
and new features like embedded GPS, NFC,&; a massive penetration of
mobile data telephony specially in the enterprise; smaller and lighter
laptops at decreasing prices; maturity of IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem)
for telco grade IP communications, etc.

Given this starting point where workers have permanent access to email
in the mobile, and full remote desktop connectivity with laptops and
VPNs in this special issue we will go beyond with current research
activities related to future enterprise mobility with a total focus on
services and applications. Among the different existing vertical
enterprise markets special attention will be given to wireless eHealth
applications.

Original, unpublished contributions will be considered for the issue in
any of, but not limited to, the following or related topic areas:
* Mobile convergent communications (IMS Corporate services)
* Wireless eHealth
* Networked applications
* Telework and mobile desktop
* Mobile enterprise 2.5: collaboration, semantics,&
* Mobile grids
