================= Call for Papers ==================

5th International Conference on Electronic Commerce and Web Technologies E C - W e b 2004

August 30 - September 3, 2004 Zaragoza, Spain http://www.dexa.org

====================================================

A large number of organizations are nowadays exploiting the opportunities offered by Internet-based technologies for electronic commerce. Companies have put their product catalogues on the Web, search engines and directories allow electronic market participants around the globe to locate potential trading partners, and a set of protocols and standards have been established to exchange goods and services via the Internet. Still, numerous technical issues need to be resolved and the amount of innovation and change in this field is prodigious. The main objective of this conference is to bring together researchers from different disciplines, developers, and users all interested in electronic commerce and Web technologies and to assess current methodologies and new research directions. Although a natural focus will be on computer science issues, we welcome research contributions from economics, business administration, law, and other disciplines. EC-Web 2004 is organized by the DEXA Association in parallel with DEXA 2004 (15th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications).
