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

A large number of organizations are nowadays exploiting the opportunities
offered by Internet-based technologies for electronic commerce.
Companies have put their product catalogues on the Web, search engines and
directories allow electronic market participants around the globe to
locate potential trading partners, and a set of protocols and standards
have been established to exchange goods and services via the Internet.
Still, numerous technical issues need to be resolved and the amount of
innovation and change in this field is prodigious. 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 welcome research contributions from economics, business administration,
law, and other disciplines. 
EC-Web 2004 is organized by the DEXA Association in parallel with DEXA 2004
(15th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications).
