Since 1999 the ACM Special Interest Group on Electronic Commerce
(SIGECOM) has sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances
in theory, systems, and applications for electronic commerce. The
fifth ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce (EC'04) will feature paper
presentations, brief announcements, and tutorials covering all areas
of electronic commerce. The natural focus of the conference is on
computer science issues, but the conference is interdisciplinary in
nature, addressing the following topics:
* Algorithmic mechanism design
* Auction and negotiation technology
* Automated shopping, trading, and contract management
* Computational markets for information services
* Databases and online transaction processing
* Economic and game-theoretic analysis
* Experience with fielded electronic-commerce systems
* Formation of supply chains, coalitions, and virtual enterprises
* Intellectual property and digital rights management
* Languages for describing goods, services, and contracts
* Legal, political, and social issues
* Marketing and advertising technology
* Payment and exchange protocols
* Recommendation, reputation, and trust systems
* Security and privacy issues in electronic commerce
* Software and systems requirements, architectures, and performance
* User-interface issues in electronic commerce
The conference will be held simultaneously and co-located with the
13th International World Wide Web Conference 2004 at the Sheraton
Hotel in New York City, New York, USA. Tutorials will be held on May
17th, and the conference will start on May 18th and end on May 20th.
PAPER SUBMISSION
The conference is soliciting papers, brief announcements, and tutorial
proposals on all aspects of electronic commerce listed
above. Submitted papers and brief announcements 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 full papers will be presented at the conference, and allotted
10 pages in the published conference proceedings. Submissions may be
up to 10 pages (not including bibliography and appendices, in at least
10pt font with reasonable margins), 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'04 review process.
Accepted brief announcements will be presented at the conference (in
shorter presentations than those for full papers) and will be allotted
2 pages in the published conference proceedings. Submissions may be
up to 3 pages (including everything, in at least 10pt font with
reasonable margins), and may overlap with papers appearing in or
submitted to journals or other conferences. Brief announcements that
do overlap other papers should so indicate on the first page of the
submission. It is the responsibility of the authors of these
brief-announcement submissions to verify that such overlap is not
prohibited by the journal or other conference in question. The program
committee may also choose to provide some authors of rejected
full-paper submissions with the option of contributing brief
announcements.
Electronic submissions (in PDF or postscript format) are strongly
preferred. We are using the electronic submission system of Microsoft
Research; authors are asked to initially submit titles and abstracts,
and then the full papers or brief announcements, through this
system. The submission site is:
