BACKGROUND, AIMS AND SCOPE

EC-Web is an international scientific conference series devoted to 
technology-related aspects of e-Commerce and e-Business. The 17th 
edition of the conference, EC-Web 2016, will take place in Porto, 
Portugal in September 2016 and will serve as a forum to bring together 
researchers and practitioners to present and discuss recent advances in 
their fields.

We solicit original scientific contributions in the following areas:

* Search, Comparison and Recommender Systems
* Preference Representation and Reasoning
* Semantic-based Systems, Ontologies and Linked Data
* Agent-based Systems, Negotiation and Auctions
* Social Web and Social Media in E-Commerce

Papers for the research track should have a length of no more than 12 
pages using the Springer LNBIP style.

INDUSTRIAL TRACK

In order to establish better connections to actual applications of web 
technologies in E-Commerce, EC-WEB 2016 features an Industrial Track. We 
are looking for papers describing products or real-world applications of 
advanced web technologies for E-Commerce. Papers from companies are 
especially welcome. Authors of papers in the industrial track will have 
the opportunity to prodvide a demonstration of their technology in the 
main session of the conference. Papers for the industrial track should 
have a length of no more than 6 pages using the Springer LNBIP style. 
Being of a more practical nature, the requirements for evaluation and 
literature work are much lower for this track. Papers will be evaluated 
on the innovative nature of the technology/application presented and the 
real-world impact.

Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished papers at:
