The IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2005) is an international forum 
for researchers and practitioners from different areas of computer science and management science to 
exchange information on the engineering design, enabling technologies, and anecdotal experiences as 
related to e-business, to identify the emerging research topics, as well as to help shape the future 
of IT-transformed enterprise, government and commerce.  ICEBE 2005 is a follow-on conference to the 
highly successful CEC-East 2004 (http://tab.computer.org/tcec/cec04-east/), and a sister event of 
the IEEE 7th International Conference on e-Commerce Technology (CEC 2005, http://cec05.in.tum.de/), 
which will be held in Munich, Germany, July 19-22, 2005.

The technical program of ICEBE 2005 will consist of keynote speeches, paper presentations, and panel 
discussion.  ICEBE 2005 will also include an industry track to foster the interaction between the 
academics and the industry, and a student workshop for graduate students to receive constructive 
feedback on their thesis research from their peers and senior faculty members. 

The conference theme will be "enabling e-business in emerging markets". The conference scope spans
