Development Lab, The University of Hong Kong, School of Information Systems, 
Singapore Management University, Arizona State University,Coventry University


E-Business is one of most challenging areas for industry and research 
communities as it evolves from B2C to enterprise integration and collaboration. 
In this very dynamic environment, software and its related supporting platforms 
have to be rapidly formed and designed in order to meet different demands. A 
number of software engineering paradigms, IT concepts and technologies have 
been developed to tackle these challenges. However, there are many open 
research issues  that need to be addressed. So, a series of related 
conferences organised by the IEEE Technical Committee on E-Commerce have taken place
since 1998. The 2006 IEEE ICEBE is the latest of a successful series. The 2005 
IEEE ICEBE took place in Beijing, China. It attracted more than 420 quality 
submissions. Based on the received reviews, we accepted 72 full papers
for the research track, which amounts to an acceptance rate of 17%. In 
addition, we accepted 34 short papers, and 11 industry-track papers. The papers 
represented 18 countries around the world.

The 2006 IEEE International Conference on e-Business Engineering (ICEBE 2006) 
is an international forum
for researchers and practitioners from different areas of computer science and 
information systems to exchange information on the enabling technologies and 
best practices for e-business, to identify emerging research topics, as well as 
to help shape the future of IT-transformed enterprise, government and commerce. 
The conference scope spans the areas of middleware, databases, MIS, Web, and 
multimedia. The main themes of this year’s conference will focus on:

 	 E-Commerce Models, Applications and Technologies
 	 Service Oriented Computing for E-Business
 	 Data and Knowledge Management for E-Business
 	 Mobile and Pervasive Commerce
 	 Security, Privacy and Open Source Technologies in E-Commerce/Business
 	 Industrial Track

The conference will take place on 24-26 October, 2006 at Fudan University, 
Shanghai, China. In addition to paper presentations from the delegates, the 
program includes keynote speeches, panel discussions, poster sessions, and two 
technical workshops. A demonstration session will be held for the delegates to 
share their research results. The conference will also schedule a job fair to 
provide a chance for the students and delegates to pursue their careers and for 
the companies to discover their future employees.  Two symposiums, the 2nd IEEE 
international Symposium on Service-Oriented Software Engineering and the 
2nd International Symposium on Service-Oriented Applications, Integration 
and Collaboration will be co-located with the conference to stimulate discussions
over the issues related to service oriented architecture and E-Business.
