Networking has been the fundamental technology fostering the development of
the web and electronic commerce. Over the past few years,
electronic
commerce has emerged as a dramatic new model of conducting business.
Advances in networking, automated processes, decision technologies, economics,
and management are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of industries,
ranging from banking and finance to music and entertainment. Many of the
significant advances in understanding the interaction between the two fields and
their impact on the implementation of e-commerce are occurring in academia and
industry. A dialogue on the interaction between the two fields and between
academia and industry is important. As electronic business spans a wide range of
reference disciplines, forums focusing on networking and e-commerce research are
vital to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge sharing across this
broad community.
Following the success of NAEC2005, the 2006
Networking and Electronic Commerce Research Conference (NAEC 2006)
addresses these needs. NAEC conferences bring together academic and
industrial researchers from various fields to discuss developments and
challenges of networking and electronic business. The aim of the conference is
to provide a high quality forum for the presentation of results, exchange of
ideas, and scientific discussions on challenges, methodologies, new technologies
and their impact, computational and deployment issues, policies and advanced
applications in the area of networking and e-business. Our goal is to open the
conference to participants from all fields, in particular, telecommunications,
computer science, management sciences and operations research, economy, legal
and policy studies. The conference will combine technical presentations grouped
in research sessions, with industry and research plenary speakers, as well as
industry-lead panels.
Papers submitted for presentation at the
conference will be refereed and selected based on the full paper (15 to 35
pages) or an extended abstract (2 to 4 pages). The papers or abstracts have to
be submitted through E-mail, by
June 1, 2006 to Professor
Bezalel Gavish. All papers selected for
presentation will be published in the conference proceedings. Refereed full
papers will be considered for publication in the
Electronic Commerce
Research Journal or the
Telecommunication Systems
Journal. Further information and instructions will be announced later and
will be posted on the conference web site.
