Over the past few years, electronic commerce (EC) has emerged as a
dramatic new mode of business. Today, almost every company is either
using or considering the use of EC. Advances in telecommunications and
automated processes are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety
of industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and
entertainment. Yet, the EC space is still in a relatively early state of
evolution, and many of the significant advances in understanding and
implementing EC are occurring concurrently in academia and industry.
The traditional sequential process of technology innovation followed
by technology transfer no longer applies. Thus, dialogue on this field
between academia and industry is important. As EC spans a wide
range of reference disciplines, forums focusing on EC research are
necessary to stimulate the necessary interactions and knowledge
sharing across this broad community.

ICECR-4 is intended to address these needs. Following on the heels of
the successful third conference in 2000, the goal of the conference
is to bring together both academic and industrial researchers in the
field of EC on an ongoing, annual basis, to discuss new technological 
developments and their implications for EC, as well as technological issues
that need to be addressed to further the effectiveness and efficiency of EC.
The conference combines research tracks in which technical papers will
be presented, with industrial tracks consisting of panels, plenary speakers
and exhibits.

Topics of interest for the conference include (but are not limited to)
the following:

* Impact of EC on supply chain, distribution chain management, EDI and
  IOS
* Secure transaction processing methods for electronic commerce
* Design and analysis of multimedia applications on the Internet
* Business models of EC
* M-commerce research issues and applications
* The impact of mobility on EC mechanisms
* Internet traffic management and analysis
* Pricing Internet services
* EC market mechanisms and business models
* EC intermediary roles and their analysis
* Electronic payment mechanisms
* Economic analysis of intranets and extranets
* Design and analysis of intranets
* Data management issues in EC
* Managing response time and content in Web-based information services
* Effective management of electronic commerce transaction servers
* EC developments and challenges in specific industries (e.g.,
  financial services, music, manufacturing, tourism, publishing)
* Globalization issues in EC (standards, regulation, property rights,
  etc.)
* Security and Privacy on the Internet

The Program Committee is open to any ideas you might have regarding additional 
topics or format of the conference.  The intention is, whenever possible, to 
limit the number of parallel sessions to three.  The conference is scheduled 
over a weekend so as to reduce teaching conflicts for academic participants, and 
to enable participants to take advantage of weekend hotel and airfare rates and 
of the many events that take place in the Downtown area.
