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

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-7
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

7th International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research
Call for Papers (Submission deadline of February 1, 2004)
INFOMART, Dallas, June 10-13, 2004

Scope and Goals of the Conference
Over the past few years, electronic commerce has emerged as a dramatic new
model of conducting business. Most companies are 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 Seventh International Conference on Electronic Commerce Research ICECR-7
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-7 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, and 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 its
seventh edition will be held at 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 refereed and
selected based on the full paper or an extended abstract of 5 to 10 pages.
The abstracts have to be submitted through E-mail, by February 1, 2004 to
Professor Bezalel Gavish. All papers selected for presentation will be
published in the conference proceedings. Refereed full papers will be
considered for publication in the Electronic Commerce Research Journal or
the Telecommunication Systems Journal. Further information and instructions
will be announced later and will be posted on the conference web site.
