To get a feeling about the conferences' atmosphere, see the 2011 delegates photos available at: http://worldcomp.phanfare.com/5408606 An important mission of WORLDCOMP is "Providing a unique platform for a diverse community of constituents composed of scholars, researchers, developers, educators, and practitioners. The Congress makes concerted effort to reach out to participants affiliated with diverse entities (such as: universities, institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research centers/labs) from all over the world. The congress also attempts to connect participants from institutions that have teaching as their main mission with those who are affiliated with institutions that have research as their main mission. The congress uses a quota system to achieve its institution and geography diversity objectives." One main goal of the congress is to assemble a spectrum of affiliated research conferences, workshops, and symposiums into a coordinated research meeting held in a common place at a common time. This model facilitates communication among researchers in different fields of computer science, computer engineering, and applied computing. The Congress also encourages multi-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary research initiatives; ie, facilitating increased opportunities for cross-fertilization across sub-disciplines. 67969 CONTACT: Any inquiries should be sent to: editor(a)world-comp.org MEASURABLE SCIENTIFIC IMPACT OF WORLDCOMP: As of November 23, 2011, papers published in WORLDCOMP set of proceedings have received 15,860 citations. In recent months (March to November 2011), there had been 1,475 citations to WORLDCOMP papers (about 164 citations per month). The above record is significant (thanks to the authors). As the result of high impact (based on citations) of WORLDCOMP papers, "Microsoft Academic Search" has listed each individual track of the congress among its compiled list of "Top Conferences". The citation record of WORLDCOMP set of proceedings is in fact higher than the citation data of many reputable journals in computer science and computer engineering. (The above citation data does not include citations to WORLDCOMP papers published in 2011; thus, it is highly probable that the actual number of citations is higher; citation data was obtained from http://academic.research.microsoft.com/ ) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This email was sent to: neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at To opt out of this email list: http://world-comp.org/cgi-bin/rm/full.cgi?60DD6214-5F75-11DE-8C2B-D40E0F3C4…

Still there is a need for design principles, methods, and technologies for describing the structure of e-Business systems, its composition of subsystems, and their relationship with the external environment. * Enterprise Architecture Design, Modeling, Analysis, Development * Business Collaboration Architecture Design, Modeling, Analysis, Development * Enterprise Modeling and Application Integration Services, e.g. Enterprise Service Bus * Enterprise Architecture Design Principles * Architecture Quality Measurements * Legacy System Integration * Middleware Integration ------------------- Recommender Systems: ------------------- Recommender and business intelligence systems supporting both the customer side and the providers side in making better business decision is still a challenging issue. * Industrial application of recommendation technologies * Consumer search, decision making and consumer buying behavior models * Computational advertising * Reputation and Trust in recommender systems * Persuasion techniques and recommender systems * Context-aware recommender systems * Recommender systems and social networks * Crowdsourcing and collective intelligence * Novelty, diversity and serendipity * Recommender system user interfaces and conversational approaches * Explanations in recommender systems ---------------------------------------------------------------- Semantic representation of e-business and e-commerce information: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Managing knowledge for the coordination of e-business processes through the systematic application of Semantic Web technologies is the focus of semantic e-business. It builds up on Semantic Web technologies, knowledge management and e-business processes. Challenges address the conceptualization how e-business related knowledge is captured, represented, shared, and processed by humans and intelligent software. * Languages, tools and methodologies for representing and managing business data * Ontological engineering of business applications * Linked Open Data * Semantic reasoning about business data * Search, query, analysis, and integration of business data ---------------------------------------- Business Services and Process Management: ---------------------------------------- Business services focus on the alignment of business and IT allowing smoother business operations and business processes. This also allows for more effective business process management approaches concerning the design, modeling, execution, monitoring and optimization of business process life cycles. * Business/IT Alignment * Business Service Analysis, Strategy, Design, Development and Deployment * Service Identification, Modeling, and Granularity * Service Revenue Models * Service Engineering/Development Methods * Service-oriented Business Modeling * Software as a Service, Service as a Software * Business process modeling and analysis * SOA for business processes * Service-enabled workflow management systems ---------------------- Agent-based E-Commerce: ---------------------- Agents are computer systems situated in some environment and capable of autonomous action in order to meet their design objectives. Research on agent-based e-commerce has a vigorous tradition. However, new trends and concerns are emerging. * Agent Technology for E-Commerce * Agents in B2B and B2C E-Commerce * Partnership Formation and Brokering Mechanisms * Auctions and Automated Negotiation * Interaction Protocols and Mechanism Design * Argumentation-based Negotiation * Coalition Formation and Teams * Contracts and Contracting Issues * Electronic Voting and Market-Oriented Programming * E-Commerce Systems and Commercial Applications * E-Supply Chains and Virtual Organizations ----------------------- E-Business Case Studies: ----------------------- In constructive research, new prototypes to conduct e-business have emerged over the last couple of years. Although EC-Web focuses on new research ideas, we also welcome case studies that report on applying recent research results in real world environments, such as: * E-Procurement * E-Shops * E-Tendering, E-Auctions * E-Markets * E-Payment * Cross-enterprise solutions * Cross-border issues * Mobile e-Business * E-commerce and e-business APPification ======================================================================== == PAPER SUBMISSION Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered in another forum.
