Call for Papers
Second International Workshop
    	  on Electronic Commerce (WELCOM'01)
Mobility and Electronic Commerce
http://www.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/GK/welcom/
November 16-17, 2001
    		 Heidelberg, Germany
In Conjunction with:
IFIP/ACM International Conference on
       Distributed Systems Platforms (Middleware 2001)
         http://www.labs.agilent.com/middleware2001/
(A cooperation with ACM SIGMOBILE is under preparation)
SCOPE
Electronic Commerce is one of the most important challenges in business
development and one of the driving forces behind the fast development of
the
Internet. The dawn of next generation mobile networks and the
substantial
investments in the respective licenses generate an immense demand for
new
solutions and applications while opening a completely new domain of
research. Portable information appliances will accompany us everywhere
and
they will be important front-ends to electronic commerce applications.
E-commerce is expected to reshape the way business is conducted and the
technical infrastructure has to be adapted to the requirements posed by
electronic commerce scenarios. In the networked economy
information-driven
architectures set out for providing the high flexibility necessary to
construct customized electronic services, reconfigurable inter-company
relationships, and Internet-wide scalability. If mobility is really such
an
important field, all research in EC must ask how it is influenced by the
mobility aspect. The interrelationship between discussions about
processes in
electronic commerce and aspects of mobile commerce must be emphasized.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers, engineers
and
practitioners to discuss the development of technical concepts,
products, and
infrastructures for electronic commerce. Main topics are the
architectures of
electronic commerce applications and mobility in electronic commerce.
This workshop will provide a forum to meet and discuss the technical and
technology related issues of e-commerce. Suggested topics for research
and
position papers include, but are not limited to:
* Processes in Electronic Commerce and Integration of Mobile Devices
   * Definition, Creation, Lookup, and Composition of Electronic
Services
   * Security in Processes
   * Semantics of Electronic Services: Metadata and Ontologies
   * Deployment, Monitoring, and Administration of Service-oriented
     Applications
   * Distributed Processes and Virtual Enterprises
   * Nomadic Employers, Employees, and Customers
   * Architectures of Service-, Information-Flow- and Customer-oriented
     Systems
   * Management of Information-Flows
   * Operating Systems -> Middleware -> "Application-Ware"
   * Notifications, Event-based Systems
   * Impact of Mobility on Application Architecture
   * Location-Awareness
   * Mobility and Electronic Services
   * Mobility and Agents
   * Mobility and Security
   * Middleware and the Integration of Mobile Devices
