Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Yahoo! Research) - "Web Advertising"
We will outline the science and the technology behind web advertising. We we
will first review the various forms of web advertising served up by
advertising networks such as Google, MSN and Yahoo!. We will then introduce
the technical challenges and solutions for such problems as: given a users
search query, how do we determine which advertisement(s) to present? Of all
the advertisers who wish to present their ads on a particular query, who
should succeed? The solutions to these problems span fields from text mining
and retrieval, to the theory of auctions and marketplaces. We conclude by
discussing some of the ethical, legal and privacy challenges around the
responsible use of data for web advertising. Michael Kifer (Stony Brook
University)
EC-Web 2010
After the initial enthusiastic initiatives and investments and the eventual
bubble, Electronic Commerce has changed and evolved in a well established
and founded reality both from a technological point of view and from a
scientific one. Nevertheless, together with its evolution, new challenges
and topics have emerged as well as new questions have raised related to many
aspects of Electronic Commerce.
After the lesson learned during last years and following the successful
edition of EC-Web 2009, for its 11th edition EC-Web will try to provide a
clearer description of the Electronic Commerce universe focusing on some
relevant topics. The main focus is not only on Internet related techniques
and approaches. The aim of EC-Web 2010 is to cover also aspects related to
theoretical foundations of E-Commerce, Business Processes as well as new
approaches exploiting recently emerged technologies and scenarios such as
Semantic Web, Web services, SOA architectures, mobile and ubiquitous
computing, just to cite a few. Due to their central role in any realistic
e-commerce infrastructure security and privacy issues are widely considered,
without excluding legal and regulatory aspects.
We encourage papers that present innovative solutions for classical
E-Commerce issues, such as e-negotiation, recommender systems, secure
payments, as well as for new emerging areas, such as Computational and
Search Advertising, Semantic Web, agent-based E-Commerce, applied Web
Services, applied soft computing, information retrieval and information
filtering techniques in web and/or e-commerce environments.
Although the conference seems naturally focused on computer science issues,
we welcome and encourage research contributions from economics, business
administration, law, sociology and other disciplines. In particular, papers
about web marketing and its non-technical aspects, as well as about social
aspects of e-commerce are encouraged. We also welcome papers reporting
about
innovative applications and case studies in the field of E-Commerce
and/or Web
Applications, like, e.g., Electronic Voting and Sponsored web search.
In order to provide a better categorization and classification of its
main goals,
Ec-Web 2010 will be organized as a multi-track conference.
Each track will be organized as a mini-conference with corresponding
reference area
chairs. Even though the main focus of the conference concerns the
relationship
between E-commerce and emerging technologies, with strong attention toward
semantics aspects, contributions about theoretical issues as well as
cross-track
contributions are very welcome.

limited to:
