ACM EC'14: CALL FOR PAPERS AND CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
http://www.sigecom.org/ec14/
15th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (EC -- formerly the
ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce)
June 8-12, 2014
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA
Conference overview
Since 1999 the ACM Special Interest Group on Electronic Commerce
(SIGecom) has sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances
in theory, systems, and applications at the interface of economics and
computation, including applications to electronic commerce.
The Fifteenth ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (EC'14) will
feature invited speakers, paper presentations, workshops, and
tutorials. EC'14 will be co-located with a meeting of the NBER Market
Design working group, and with the NSF/CEME Decentralization
Conference. In order to facilitate the interaction with researchers
attending these events, a special joint session will take place on the
afternoon of June 9.
The conference will be held from Sunday, June 8, 2014 through
Thursday, June 12, 2014 at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA, USA.
Accepted technical papers and invited talks will be presented from
June 10 through June 12; tutorials and workshops will be held on June
8 and June 9. Accepted papers will be available in the form in which
they are published in the ACM Digital Library one week before the
conference.
The focus of the conference is research at the interface of economics
and computation related to (but not limited to) the following three
non-exclusive focus areas:
Theory and Foundations
Artificial Intelligence and Applied Game Theory
Experimental, Empirical, and Applications
Authors can designate a paper for one or two of these focus areas.
Each area has dedicated Senior Program Committee (SPC) and Program
Committee (PC) members to allow appropriate review of papers.
We are committed to accepting papers of the very highest quality on
the interface between computer science and economics. If we receive a
large number of such submissions we will hold some sessions in
parallel, grouping these sessions by topic rather than by area.
EC publishes relevant papers on topics and methodologies that include:
Auction theory
Automated agents
Bargaining and negotiation
Behavioral models and experiments
Computational game theory
Computational social choice
Consumer search and online behavior
Crowdsourcing and collective intelligence

Information elicitation
Machine learning
Market algorithms
Market design
Market equilibrium
Matching
Mechanism design
Platforms and services
Prediction markets
Preferences and decision theory
Price of anarchy
Privacy
Recommender systems
Reputation and trust systems
Revenue optimization, pricing, and payments
Social networks
Sponsored search and other electronic marketing
Trading agents
Usability and human factors in e-commerce applications
User-generated content and peer production
PAPER SUBMISSION
Submissions should be made at http://www.sigecom.org/ec14/papers.html
The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and
tutorial proposals; see below) on all aspects of research covered by
the conference. Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance,
originality, technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly
establish the research contribution, its relevance, and its relation
to prior research. All submissions must be made in the appropriate
format, and within a specified length limit; details and a LaTeX
template can be found at the submission site. Additional pages beyond
the length limit may be included as appendices, but will only be read
at the discretion of the reviewers.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of
different fields, authors of accepted papers can ask that only a one
page abstract of the paper appear in the proceedings, along with a URL
pointing to the full paper. Authors should guarantee the link to be
reliable for at least two years. This option is available to
accommodate subsequent publication in journals that would not consider
results that have been published in preliminary form in a conference
proceedings. Such papers must be submitted electronically and
formatted just like papers submitted for full-text publication.
Simultaneous submission of results to another conference with
published proceedings is not allowed. Results previously published or
presented at another archival conference prior to EC, or published (or
accepted for publication) at a journal prior to the submission
deadline to EC, will not be considered. Simultaneous submission of
results to a journal is allowed only if the author intends to publish
the paper as a one page abstract in EC'14. Papers that are accepted
and appear as a one page abstract can be subsequently submitted for
publication in a journal but may not be submitted to any other
conference that has a published proceedings.
WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops to
be held in conjunction with the conference. Tutorial proposals should
contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page description of the topic
matter, the names and short biographies of the tutor(s), and
dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if
any). Workshop proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the
names and short biographies of the organizers, and the names of
confirmed or candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also
include a two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing
process for participants, the organization of the workshop, and
required facilities for the workshop. Informal suggestions for
workshop or tutorial ideas can also be sent without a full proposal to
the workshop and tutorial chairs at any time. Submission information
can be found on the conference website.
