ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC'03)

June 9-12, 2003
San Diego, USA

Society sponsor: ACM Special Interest Group on E-Commerce (SIGecom)

This conference is part of the 2003 Federated Computing Research Conference (FCRC).

 

 The fourth annual ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC'03) will feature invited talks, panel discussions, refereed paper presentations and tutorials covering all areas of electronic commerce. The natural focus of the conference is on computer science issues, but the conference is interdisciplinary in nature. We actively seek research relevant to those issues but which draw in a significant way on economics, game theory, management, law, and other disciplines. Tutorials will be held on June 9 and the conference will start on June 10 and will end on June 12 at noon.

 PAPER SUBMISSION

 The conference is soliciting papers on all computer scientific aspects of electronic commerce; representative topics are listed at the end of this announcement. Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance to electronic commerce, and its relation to prior research. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference, and included in the published proceedings. Submissions may be up to 6000 words, and may not have appeared before (or be pending) in a journal or conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted to another forum during the EC'03 review process.

 Electronic submissions (in PDF or postscript format) are strongly preferred. We are using the electronic submission system of Microsoft Research; authors are asked to initially submit titles and abstracts, and then the full papers, through this system. The submission site is: http://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ec03.

 POSTER PAPERS SUBMISSION

 The conference program will contain a poster session during which there will be no scheduled talks. A wide range of types of posters are solicited, including work-in-progress, industrial experience, short communications, as well as regular research papers. A one-page abstract of each accepted poster paper will be published in the conference proceedings. Authors of poster papers may want to submit full versions of their papers for publication elsewhere. Poster paper submissions for papers under review are also allowed. Poster submissions may be up to 6,000 words. The submission site for posters is: http://cmt.research.microsoft.com/ec03posters/.

TUTORIALS

 Submit your tutorial proposals containing title of tutorial, one page description of the tutorial, name and short bio of the speakers, and proposed duration to ec03.tutorials@cs.gmu.edu.
