The pervasive connectivity of the Internet and the powerful architecture of the WWW have created a tremendous opportunity for conducting business on the Internet. The terms e-commerce and e-business have been used to describe those systems and technologies that make conducting business on the Internet possible. The purpose of this workshop is to identify and explore the technical and related technology management issues and solutions for e-commerce on the Internet. In particular, we are interested in the infrastructure issues to facilitate e-commerce and Web-based information systems. The WECWIS workshop is to be a forum for free exchange of ideas. Particularly welcome are reports on experimental work, experience with current standards and position papers addressing current and future needs of e-commerce and Web-based information systems. It is planned to select the best papers for a special issue of an IEEE journal.

Topics for submission include but are not limited to:

· Personalization and content management for e-commerce systems · Real-time Internet delivery technologies and scheduling protocols · Content distribution, caching and collaborative proxies · Security issues for e-commerce systems · Data mining techniques for e-commerce systems · Web-based information systems · Java technologies for e-commerce systems · QoS support in e-commerce systems · E-commerce based business models and architectures · Technologies for revenue management and flexible pricing · Integration of e-commerce servers with legacy systems · Web content hosting and replication · Transaction and work-flow management for e-commerce systems · User interface support for e-commerce · Auction and negotiation technology · Formation of supply chains, coalitions, and virtual enterprises · Dynamic pricing · Collaborative Commerce · Mobile Commerce
