The International Conference on Electronic commerce (ICEC) provides a forum for
the top of the scientific research community in e-commerce from all over the
world annually. After holding the conference in Canada, USA, and Austria in the
past three years, we are returning to Asia and hosting ICEC'09 in Taipei,
Taiwan.
ICEC'09 will feature invited keynote presentations, panels on topical issues on
technology, business, and public policy, refereed paper presentations on
emerging and continuing research issues, and tutorials and workshops on new
areas of service science and management.
The theme of ICEC'09 is “Service Innovations
for E-commerce”, Along with ICT enhancement and business
integration, e-commerce has become common practices for many business
transactions. It has emerged with business processes to deliver values to
internal and external customers. The demand of customer-centric services
requires innovative approaches to identify customer needs, and design effective
processes to deliver values to customers, especially facing the increasing
number of Web-based applications (e.g., Web 2.0). Thus, the study of the
innovation in services for e-commerce will become the next wave of e-commerce
research and practices. This conference aims to facilitate the dialogues among
experts in academic and industries to exchange insights in related issues, and
hopefully boost up research momentum across disciplines to contribute to service
innovations for e-commerce.
