Collaboration is an important aspect in almost all fields of human life, and today the need for supporting collaboration is increased by the fact that we are always connected by means of different kinds of devices. In particular in the enterprise world, this need has emerged and satisfying it can lead to relevant benefits for companies. In the last years, enabling technologies have evolved to meet new and challenging requirements. The aim of this special issue is to provide a selection of the state of the art, emerging trends, new technologies and best practices in the field of technologies that enable collaboration. The idea was born at the 2014 IEEE WETICE Conference on Enabling Technology: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises, but the call was open to any submission.
