  Last Call For Papers - ICEC04

  Sixth International Conference on Electronic Commerce
  ICEC 2004: Towards a new services landscape
  http://www.icec04.net/
  Delft, The Netherlands
  25-27 October 2004

CONFERENCE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

  As in the past, ICEC2004 will feature invited presentations, 
high-level discussion panels, refereed paper presentations and poster 
presentations. ICEC is open to technical, organizational, societal, 
economical, business, as well as policy contributions. This conference 
brings together the top of the scientific research community in 
e-commerce and e-business from all over the world. The conference 
provides a highly interactive and professional forum for exchanging 
research concepts, progress and results.

  The Internet provides tremendous opportunities for innovation and 
improvement of businesses. Over the past years developments have led to 
a shift of more compelling service and customer orientation. The new 
challenge is to create customer value in service processes and to take 
the complete architecture from service design to service deployment into 
consideration. The Internet offers unique opportunities for individuals, 
businesses and government to seek new ways of achieving higher levels of 
services both qualitatively and quantitatively at substantially lower 
costs. Many hurdles still need to be taken, and much can be learned from 
past experience. However, the amount of research in services is still 
limited. This conference provides a forum to share invaluable 
experiences of good practices and pitfalls in strategy planning, design, 
development, engineering and implementation for creating the services 
landscape.

  The aim of this international scientific conference is to provide a 
global forum for experts to share their innovative ideas, industry 
foresights and practical experiences in service designs in the area of 
e-commerce, e-business and e-government. The conference will enhance 
participants' awareness in the lessons learned and focus their efforts 
on the critical success factors for building service-oriented, 
cost-effective and profitable e-commerce and e-government. Hence, the 
potential impact of this conference on organizations in adopting or 
enhancing e-services could be very significant.

  The host-city of ICEC2004 is Delft a small town with a long history of 
culture and high-tech. Stroll along the canals, enjoy the rustic 
courtyards and discover the most beautiful spots of Delft. The town is 
also known as Small Amsterdam, because of its canals and the grand 
monumental merchants' mansions in the old town centre. It is therefore 
an ideal spot for meeting with your peers and for discussing and 
exchanging challenging ideas.
