SUBMISSIONS
Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical
quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the research
contribution, its relevance to electronic commerce, and its relation to
prior research. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference, and
included in the published proceedings. Submissions may be up to 6000
words, and may not have appeared before (or be pending) in a journal or
conference with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or
submitted to another forum during the EC-99 review process. Electronic
submissions (in PDF or postscript format) are strongly preferred. Papers
should be sent by 25 May 1999 to:
