As technology becomes more powerful, pervasive, and integrated into our daily lives, innovative use of technology is a key differentiator that contributes to business success. To be relevant, paradigms, services, and systems from a variety of sources must be adapted and applied to the development of creative and practical solutions for today's business environment. The knowledge and expertise of scientists and engineers can thus provide unique solutions that increase competitive advantage and support business transformation. This issue contains nine papers on the innovative application of technologies in business settings, including business process integration and supply chain management. The issue also contains a paper on the use of roles by Java agents.
