Workshop Proposals for CEC 08

CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

IEEE Joint Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC'08) and
Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE '08)
July 21-24, 2008, Crystal City, Washington, DC USA
<http://cec2008.cs.georgetown.edu/>

The 10th IEEE Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC'08) and the 5th
IEEE Conference on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services
(EEE '08) are the flagship annual conferences of the IEEE Computer
Society Technical Committee on E-Commerce. In 2008, we will hold both
conferences together as a joint event, providing a platform for
researchers and practitioners interested in the theory and practice of
E-Commerce and Enterprise Computing. The conference will focus on new
technologies and methods that enable business processes to smoothly
extend in a cross-enterprise environment, including solutions to
facilitate business coalition in a flexible and dynamic manner over
coming Next Generation Internet which provides ubiquitous, multimedia,
and secure communication services.

Besides the main program, we will host a number of workshops on topics
related to the general theme of the conference. Workshops are meant to
facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences between active
researchers and practitioners, stimulate more intensive discussions on
new and emerging issues in line with the conference topics, and
provide a meeting point for the community. Workshops may concentrate
in-depth on research topics, or may also be devoted to application
and/or standardization issues. Workshop organizers are responsible for
establishing a program committee, collecting and evaluating
submissions, notifying authors of acceptance or rejection in due time,
ensuring a transparent and fair selection process, organizing selected
papers into sessions, and assigning session chairs. All the workshop
papers will be published as regular conference proceedings by the IEEE
Computer Society Press.

Submissions are invited for workshop proposals to be included in the
CEC'08 and EEE'08 Workshop Program. Proposals for one-day workshops
