This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the First International Conference on Virtual and Networked Organizations, Emergent Technologies, and Tools, ViNOrg 2011, held in Ofir, Portugal, in July 2011. The 35 revised full papers presentedwere carefully reviewed and selected from over 60 initial submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics, such as ubiquitous computing and organizations, cloud computing and architectures, grid computing, human-computer interfaces, serious games, data mining, Web services, cognitive systems, social networks and other emergent IT/IS approaches in various function domains, such as decision support systems, planning, design, control, negotiation, marketing, management and many other, in the context of virtual and networked enterprises and organizations.
