Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Electronic Commerce

The 8th IEEE Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC'06) and the 3rd IEEE Conference on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE'06) are the flagship annual conferences of the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on E-Commerce. The 2006 conference will be a joint event providing a platform for researchers interested in theory and practice of E-Commerce and Enterprise Computing. The conference focuses on new technologies and methods geared towards business process innovation (i.e., optimizing existing or creating new business processes) for the purpose of optimizing business objectives. The joint programs of CEC’06 and EEE’06 will consist of tutorials, invited talks, paper presentations, and panel discussions. Submissions of high quality papers describing mature results or on-going work are invited. Technical contributions should be accompanied by a thorough evaluation of the results.

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

The theme for CEC’ 06 and EEE’ 06 will be “Real-Time Enterprises”. Topics for submission include but are not limited to:

Commerce and trading technologies track: - Business services networks and interworkflow technology (EDI, workflow management, semantic web, e-Contracting, IPR/DRM) - Marketing and advertising technology (Online shops, recommender systems, analytical CRM, pricing mechanism) - Supply chain management and auction technology (E-auctions, combinatorial auctions, expressive bidding events, multi-agent negotiations, inventory management, supply chain and logistics optimization) - Payment and privacy (Privacy enhancing technologies, payment protocols, reputation systems, identity management) - M-Commerce and p-Commerce (Mobility management, context-dependent services, ubiquitous support)

Enterprise computing and engineering track: - Business process management and enterprise grid computing (Virtualization and enterprise grid infrastructures, provisioning and management of e-services, performance modeling and QoS analysis) - Business intelligence and real-time business performance monitoring (Real-time data analysis - e.g., RFID / sensor data, data mining, risk and revenue management, forecasting, controlling) - Collaborative engineering and knowledge management (CSCW, information retrieval, product data management, project management) - Security and trust (trust and reputation, web services security) - e-applications and services architecture (e-Learning, e-Government, e-Health, middleware, design experiences)

** PAPER SUBMISSIONS **

Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum. Manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE style) pages. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines. At least one author is required to attend the conference and present the paper. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word formats) is required. All papers selected for this conference are peer-reviewed and will be published in the regular conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society Press.
