With the Internet as driving factor, socio-technical and industrial eNetworked ecosystems are about to change our lives again in these two decades of the twenty-first century, and we are just approaching the tipping point. As we have just reached the point where the tremendous changes fueled by concerted efforts in information communication technologies (ICT) research are unraveling the old society this is creating a lot of dis- comfort, confusion and sometimes opposition from the traditional mainstream. This disconnect is being deepened even more by the rocketing speed of technological ICT advances. As technology is getting ahead of society, the old ways, although still domi- nant, become more and more dysfunctional and we are experiencing an "age of para- dox" as the new ways disrupt the way we used to do things and even the way we used to think about the world. Just like the major inventions that shaped the last century were made by 1920, it is expected that the major inventions that will shape the twenty- first century are going to be made by 2020. Thus, time is quite ripe to ask ourselves, as we witness how the new ways irreversibly challenge the old: Where are the limits of the impossible? And are we ready to touch them with the same daring attitude which fuels our drive to push continuously the technological frontiers? As a premier confer- ence of the ICST, IT Revolutions will account yearly on the progress made in building a critical mass for the radical shift while underlining the major issues and identifying gaps between the traditional and the new ICT-driven ways to provide strategic direc- tions in addressing them––thus ensuring a smooth transition toward an IT-driven fu- ture. For this first edition we assembled a brilliant team clustered around major themes concerned with the disconnect between old and new ways reshaping critical aspects of our world at this turning point––in search for innovative solutions that can capitalize on the impact of the tumultuous transformations. A major characteristic of the IT revolution which the ICST is championing interna- tionally is that technology is far ahead of the yet unused potential for innovations––and this is mainly because the traditional ways are so drastically challenged by the novel ways, and that at the moment the old acts as a barrier rather than an enabler for imple- menting the technological advances into practice. To mediate this disconnect while em- barking responsibly on the momentum that will be turning the world around, in this first year we need to: • Evaluate where we are on the path to turnover. As this requires coordinated ef- forts, government S&T representatives and research funding agencies from all continents addressed the major areas of concern in dedicated panels whose de- liberations are published as joint recommendations. VI Preface • Ensure a smooth transition. Exploring the core elements needed to encourage sustainable change as new systems are introduced and grounded in the practice environment. Motivational factors, incentives to embrace the change as well as alignment with the societal needs were debated in panels and workshops. • Point to the future. Foresight presentations from most visionary contributors to the major areas helped push the limits of the achievable through keynotes and position papers that underline factors enabling the IT revolution to redesign the world economy and society. I am certain that you will feel as compelled as we are to become a part of this quest. Thus I invite you to join our concerted efforts and contribute your share to the IT Revolution.
