4th International Conference
on
Electronic Commerce and Web
Technologies
EC-Web 2003
September 1-5, 2003
Prague, Czech
Republic
http://www.dexa.org
Outline:
A large number of
companies, organizations, and customers are exploiting the opportunities offered
by Internet-based electronic commerce solutions and many more are expected to
follow. Companies have put their databases and product catalogues on the Web,
search engines allow electronic market participants around the globe to locate
potential trading partners, and a set of different protocols are established to
exchange goods and services by using different business models and following
different strategies. There is a diagnostic need for effective tools for
information consumers, who must be able to easily locate in the Web interested
information from unstructured documents and pictures to structured, record
oriented data. The effective and efficient access to the Web information has
become a critical research area. This has led to the development of new
e-commerce tools and technology, Web data models and query languages, Web site
management system, auction and negotiation systems, etc. The management of Web
data is receiving a new set of challenges with the advent of XML and other
standards. The main objective of this conference is to bring together
researchers from different disciplines, developers, and users all interested in
electronic commerce and Web technologies and to assess current methodologies and
new research directions. Although a natural focus will be on computer science
issues, we expressly welcome technical research contributions from economics,
business, law, and other relevant disciplines. EC-WEB 2003 is organized by the
DEXA Association in parallel with DEXA 03 (14th International Conference on
Database and Expert Systems Applications) and DaWaK 03 (5th International
Conference on Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery).
