ECOM&EGOV'08 - Call for Papers (deadline: 15 June 2008)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
8th International Interdisciplinary Conference on e-Commerce and
     e-Government "ECOM&EGOV'08"
*** Wisla, Poland, October 20-22, 2008
*** http://www.imcsit.org/?cont=112&type=page&page=93
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Organized within the framework of the International Multiconference on
Computer Science and Information Technology and co-located with the XXIV
Autumn Meeting of the Polish Information Processing Society.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

We would like to invite original papers on all aspects of electronic
commerce, electronic government and related issues. The conference is
meant to address the academic community as well as representatives of
business, industry, government, NGOs and information technology sector.
Thus - apart from research papers - practical presentations of existing
solutions are very welcome, too. This year we specifically added the
EGOV component as we would like to explore the e-government research and
applications. The areas of e-Commerce, e-Governance, e-Government etc.
are interdisciplinary by nature: they involve people with their
background in economy, management, artificial intelligence, computer
science, sociology, psychology, law and so on. We feel that a meeting of
specialists in those areas may help to cross the boundaries between the
traditional disciplines, but also between the communities of theorists
and practitioners. And to create a better understanding of the
mechanisms underlying electronic markets, electronic administrations and
networked organizations.

The general list of topics includes:
- electronic markets and electronic marketing
- business models and processes in e-Commerce and e-Government
- languages and models for e-Commerce and e-Government
- Artificial Intelligence in e-Commerce and e-Government
- electronic contracting and public procurement
- legal aspects of e-Commerce and e-Government
- electronic interaction and negotiation
- Virtual Enterprises and Knowledge Management
- technology for e-Commerce and e-Government
- Internet computing, networked enterprises and networked governments
- social aspects of e-Commerce and e-Government
- futurology of e-Commerce and e-Government
- e-Inclusion and its influence on e-Commerce and e-Government
- national and cross-boarder e-Government services
- productivity and efficiency in e-Commerce and e-Government
You can also have a look at the more detailed list available at:
