Over the past few years, electronic commerce (EC) has emerged as a dramatic
new mode of business. Today, almost every company is either using or
considering EC. Advances in telecommunications and automated processes are
already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of industries, ranging from
banking and finance to music and entertainment. Yet, the TEC environment is
still in a relatively early state of evolution. New forums focusing on EC
are necessary to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge
sharing; and given the central role of telecommunications networks in EC,
dialogue between telecommunications researchers and EC researchers is
essential.
ICTEC will bring together both academic and industrial researchers in the
fields of telecommunications and EC, to discuss new technological
developments and their implications for EC, as well as technological issues
that need to be addressed to further the effectiveness and efficiency of
EC. The conference will combine research tracks in which technical papers
will be presented, with industrial tracks consisting of panels, plenary
speakers and exhibits.
The conference will include technical sessions, panel discussions and
plenary talks on topics such as the following:
EC Architecture
Information Management Issues in EC
EC Developments in Various Countries
EC Developments in Specific Industries
Document Management
Agent-based EC Systems
EC Market Mechanisms
Marketing and Operations Issues in EC
Network Management issues
Legal and Policy Issues in TEC
EC Strategy
Payment Systems in EC
