=========================================================

The dramatic changes in telecommunications and computing
technology as evidenced in the Internet and WWW have
sparked a revolution in electronic commerce. In fact, many
organisations are exploiting the opportunities of Internet-
based e-commerce solutions, and many more are expected to
follow. But in spite of the well-published success stories,
many businesses and consumers are cautious about
e-commerce, and security concerns are often cited as being
the most important barrier. This special session of ICECR-6
is devoted to the theory and applications of security and
trust in electronic commerce. Topics for submission include
but are not limited to:

- risk assessment and reduction in e-commerce systems
- privacy issues
- legal aspects and law enforcement
- ethical aspects
- trust aspects and management
- digital signature applications
- encryption in e-commerce systems
- information flow issues
- COTS protection
- firewall technology
- administration and management of safeguards
- virtual private networks
- authorization and access control models
- mechanisms for guaranteeing non-repudiation
- secure electronic markets

6th International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research

Scope and Goals of the Conference
Over the past few years, electronic commerce has emerged as
a dramatic new mode of conducting business. Today, almost
every company is either using or considering the use of e-
business. Advances in telecommunications, automated
processes, decision technologies, economics, and management
are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of
industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and
entertainment. Yet, the electronic business space is still
in a relatively early state of evolution, and many of the
significant advances in understanding and implementing e-
commerce are occurring concurrently in academia and
industry. Thus, dialogue on this field between academia and
industry is important. As electronic business spans a wide
range of reference disciplines, forums focusing on e-
commerce research are vital to stimulate the necessary
interactions and knowledge sharing across this broad
community.

The Sixth International Conference on Electronic Commerce
Research ICECR-6 is intended to address these needs. The
series of ICECR conferences established a history of
success in bringing together academic and industrial
researchers from various fields on an ongoing, annual basis
to discuss developments and challenges of electronic
business understood in the largest possible sense of the
term. The aim of ICECR-6 is to continue this tradition and
provide a high quality forum for the presentation of
results, exchange of ideas, and scientific discussions on
challenges, methodologies, new technologies and their
impact, computational and deployment issues, policies and
advanced applications in the area of e-business. Our goal
is to open the conference to participants from all fields,
in particular, telecommunications, computer science,
management sciences, operations research, economy, legal
and policy studies. The conference will combine technical
presentations grouped in research sessions, with industry
and research plenary speakers, as well as industry-lead
panels.

Following the earlier successful meetings held in
Nashville, Dallas, and Montréal, the International
Conference on Electronic Commerce Research moves for its
sixth edition to INFOMART, Dallas, Texas. INFOMART is an
ideal facility for a conference that brings together
researchers from all over the world and, in particular,
from Europe, Asia, North and South America.

Papers submitted for presentation at the conference will be
selected on the basis of an extended abstract of 5 to 10
pages. The abstracts have to be submitted by May 1, 2003 to
Professor Bezalel Gavish. All selected papers will be
published in the conference proceedings. Refereed full
papers will be considered for publication in the Electronic
Commerce Research Journal. Further information and
instructions will be announced at a later date and will be
posted on the conference web site.
