-- Call for Papers 10th Research Symposium on Emerging Electronic Markets (RSEEM 2003) A Research Agenda for E-Markets and E-Marketplaces – Between Market and Cooperation http://dimsa.informatik.uni-bremen.de/rseem2003/ http://dimsa.informatik.uni-bremen.de/rseem2003/ The Research Symposium on Emerging Electronic Markets (RSEEM) is an annual event destined to provide a forum for researchers to present and discuss their current and ongoing work. In order to stimulate a lively discussion the number of participants will be limited to approx. 30 people. In the past, RSEEM has always attracted a small community of junior and senior researchers. We call for papers for the theme of RSEEM A Research Agenda for Emerging Electronic Markets and the focus topic of RSEEM 2003 E-Marketplaces – Between Market and Cooperation RSEEM is a forum to discuss current or ongoing research on electronic markets. We call in particular for research papers that give an outlook on the future of E-Markets and E-Societies and that contribute to a research agenda on electronic markets (future projects, visions, ideas, prospects). One idea of the symposium is to coordinate the emerging research of the participants on electronic markets. The focus theme of RSEEM 2003 is "E-Marketplaces – between Market and Cooperation". E-markets stimulate competition through, e.g., auctions and low transaction costs. They also enable novel models of information sharing and the re-organization of value chains through new cooperation models. Electronic markets stipulate new designs for the “game” of creating economic value. E.g., in e-procurement, a new relation buyer-seller is defined as the electronic product catalogs move from the sell-side to the buy-side. More challenges in e-markets are the integration of product catalogs and existing IT-infrastructures as, e.g., ERP systems as well as standards, standardization and design models and methods. Topics include but are not limited to: - Cooperation models (Value webs, virtual communities ….) - Market mechanisms (Auctions, portals, ...) - Business models in e-markets (Cases, solution providers, ...) - System integration (ERP, buy-side integration - Formats and standards (XML, BizTalk, ...)
