Today, almost every company is either : using or considering EC. Also, advances in telecommunications and : automated processes are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety : of industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and : entertainment. Yet, the TEC (telecommunications and electronic : commerce) environment is still in a relatively early state of : evolution, and many of the significant advances in understanding and : implementing TEC are occurring concurrently in academia and industry. : The traditional sequential process of technology innovation followed : by technology transfer no longer applies. Thus, dialogue on this field : between academia and industry is important. As TEC spans a wide : range of reference disciplines, forums focusing on TEC are : necessary to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge : sharing across this broad community. : : ICTEC00 is intended to address these needs. Following on the heels of : the successful second conference in 1999, the goal of the conference : is to bring together both academic and industrial researchers in the : fields of telecommunications and EC on an ongoing, annual basis, to : discuss new technological developments and their implications for : TEC, as well as technological issues that need to be addressed to : further the effectiveness and efficiency of TEC. The conference : combines research tracks in which technical papers will be presented, : with industrial tracks consisting of panels, plenary speakers and : exhibits. : : Topics of interest for the conference include (but are not limited to) : the following: : : * Impact of EC on supply chain, distribution chain management, EDI and : IOS : * Secure transaction processing methods for electronic commerce : * Design and analysis of multimedia applications on the Internet : * The impact of mobility on EC mechanisms : * Internet traffic management and analysis : * Pricing Internet services : * EC market mechanisms and business models : * EC intermediary roles and their analysis : * Electronic payment mechanisms : * Economic analysis of intranets and extranets : * Design and analysis of intranets : * Data management issues in EC : * Managing response time and content in Web-based information services : * Effective management of electronic commerce transaction servers : * EC developments and challenges in specific industries (e.g., : financial services, music, manufacturing, tourism, publishing) : * Globalization issues in EC (standards, regulation, property rights, : etc.) : : Authors should submit an extended abstract of at least 2,000 words, or : a complete paper, to Ms. Dru Lundeng, Conference Manager, by July 1, : 2000.

Electronic submissions are welcome, but must be augmented : with at least one hard-copy. Authors of accepted papers will be asked : to submit their complete manuscripts to Ms. Lundeng, by October 1, : 2000. Accepted papers that are presented at the conference will be : included in the Conference Proceedings. Formatting instructions for : accepted papers will be sent with the acceptance notice. All submitted : papers will be considered for publication in the ACM/Baltzer : Electronic Commerce Research journal : (http://www.baltzer.nl/ecr/ecr.asp). : : Panels: Proposals for panels are also invited. Both academic and : industry panels are encouraged. Each proposal should include a list of : panelists with their affiliations.
