ICEC

Mission
The adoption and ubiquity of modern Internet access offers a number of varied opportunities for innovation and improvement of businesses. Over recent years developments have led to a shift in the way business is conducted, from providing new and innovative service frameworks for B2B, to increasingly sophisticated Web 2.0 services to improve the B2C user experience. At the same time advances in the use of devices, as well as AI techniques have provided better and more varied access to e-commerce systems as well as facilitating greater autonomy in the way business is conducted. The Internet provides unique opportunities for individuals, businesses and governments to seek new ways of providing novel services. Although many challenges remain advances in Service Oriented Architectures and Semantic Web have opened up new models and avenues for research and exploitation. The International Conference on Electronic Commerce (ICEC) provides a forum to share invaluable experience of efficient practices and pitfalls in strategy planning, design, development, engineering and implementation of e-services. After having been hosted in Canada, China and The Netherlands the ICEC'08 is held in Innsbruck, Austria.

2. Business-to-consumer e-commerce: trends, problem areas, and solutions with emphasis on emerging markets
3. E-government, policy and law: state-of-the-art and future regulation of e-commerce, including public strategies in limiting illicit activities and copyright violations
4. Business/Enterprise Architectures: state-of-the-art and strategies for unifying extended enterprise resource base
5. Mobile and pervasive commerce: alternative interaction metaphors that facilitate context aware, geo-spatially relevant services to users in novel environments
6. Electronic Markets and Multiagent Systems: autonomous, intelligent, decentralized systems, that utilized AI-based and game-theoretic approaches to facilitate both heuristic and theoretically sound decision making
7. Semantic Web ontologies, rules and services: decentralized knowledge-based systems and methodologies that support the exchange of information (including workflows, policies, services and ontological knowledge) in dynamic and heterogeneous environments.
