CALL FOR PAPERS: Peer-2-Peer Ecommerce Systems and Applications in the Software Technology Track at the Thirty-seventh Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES on the Big Island of Hawaii January 5 - 8, 2004

The purpose of this minitrack is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss software technology issues related to the emerging peer-to-peer paradigm. We envisage an interdisciplinary forum bringing together participants with technology background and practitioners from both the industry and the open source community to discuss and evaluate the technology aspect as well as the interplay between technological capabilities and new emerging forms of commercial electronic interaction. Examples of such systems include electronic marketplaces, information exchange, collaborative systems, P2P protocols and architectures, etc. P2P computing provides a new paradigm of distributed computing requiring new approaches and patterns. In this context, several technologies appear to converge among which Peer-to-Peer frameworks, Mobile Agents, Digital Rights Management / Digital Policy Management, trust computing, cognitive or knowledge agents and ontologies. This convergence provides new opportunities to design novel IT architectures to support new organizational forms and flexible ways of conducting and reengineering businesses.

Contributions of interest will be those that describe novel business interaction and user coordination models, the supporting information systems and new types of systems and applications supporting the peer-to-peer paradigm. Topics related to the paradigm of peer-to-peer Ecommerce include, but are not limited to, the following:

   - P2P system architectures and protocols
   - security and payment mechanisms
   - mobile agents
   - semantic transformation and discovery
   - rights languages for electronic goods and services
   - digital rights management and policy management (DRM/DPM)
   - trust and reputation management
   - community platforms
   - self organizing information systems
   - auction, negotiation and bidding mechanisms
   - multi-agent systems
   - electronic marketplaces
   - support for virtual enterprises
   - real time management information systems
   - digital asset management and trading
