Workshops will be held on Monday June 7 and Tuesday June 8. Accepted
technical papers and invited talks will be presented from Wednesday
June 9 through Friday June 11, 2010.
PAPER SUBMISSION
The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and
tutorial proposals; see below) on all aspects of electronic commerce.
Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance, originality,
technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the
research contribution, its relevance to electronic commerce, and its
relation to prior research. Submissions to be considered for
publication in the archival ACM proceedings may be up to 10 pages
(including the bibliography), in 10-point font, double-column format,
with reasonable margins and interline spacing. Additional details may
be included in appendices beyond the 10 page limit but will only be
read at the discretion of the reviewers. These submissions must not
have appeared before (or be pending to appear) in a journal or
conference with published proceedings. All accepted submissions will
need to be migrated to the publisher's format/macros for the
proceedings. Instructions will be given by the publisher after the
paper is accepted. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference
in one of two formats: (1) a long oral presentation or (2) a short
oral presentation. Presentation format will be chosen by the program
committee with the goal of encouraging breadth and diversity among
presentations. Presentation format will have no bearing on how papers
appear in the archival conference proceedings: all accepted papers
will be allotted 10 pages in the proceedings.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To accommodate the publishing traditions of
different fields, authors may instead submit working papers that are
under review or nearly ready for journal review. These submissions
will be subject to review and considered for presentation at the
conference but only a one page abstract will appear in the proceedings
with a URL that points to the full paper and that will be reliable for
at least two years. Open access is preferred although the paper can be
hosted by a publisher who takes copyright and limits access, as long
as there is a link to the location. Electronic submission is required.
Details on the submission procedure will be made available on the main
conference web page.
WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops to
be held in conjunction with the conference. Tutorial proposals should
contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page description of the topic
matter, the names and short biographies of the tutor(s), and
dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if
any). Workshop proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the
names and short biographies of the organizers, and the names of
confirmed or candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also
include a two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing
process for participants, the organization of the workshop, and
required facilities for the workshop. Informal suggestions for
workshop or tutorial ideas can also be sent without a full proposal to
the workshop and tutorial chairs at any time. Submission information
can be found on the conference website.
