SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP); its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigapp Special Track on E-Commerce Technologies A few years ago, e-commerce applications were focused primarily on handling transactions and managing catalogs. Business requirements, however, are evolving beyond transaction support to include content management, personalization, integration, and marketplace enablement. The track will focus on technologies currently employed in creating offerings, the latest developments in the electronic marketplace, on computational and deployment issues, architectural support, policies, and advanced solutions and practices. The track is intended to address the current needs of both researchers and practitioners, and to identify significant research challenges that will most beneficially impact the future use of e-commerce applications. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Electronic Auctions Agent Technology for E-Commerce User's Preference Elicitation Recommender Systems Formal Methods in e-commerce Security Aspects Mass Personalization Technologies User Modeling and Customer Profiling Electronic Contracting and Electronic Negotiation Mobile E-Commerce Applications Trust and Reputation Systems in E-Commerce Privacy and Anonymizing Applications Data Mining for E-Commerce Semantic Web Enabled E-Commerce Electronic Payments Program Committee Manish Agrawal, University of South Florida, USA Mario Bravetti, University of Bologna, Italy Sviatoslav Braynov, SUNY at Buffalo, USA (co-chair) Ana Cavalli, Get-INT, France Fernando Cuartero, University of Castilla-La Mancha, Spain Frank Dignum, Utrecht University, The Netherlands Amy Greenwald, Brown University, USA Felix Hampe, Koblenz University, Germany Henry Hexmoor, University of Arkansas, USA Zakaria Maamar, Zayed University, UAE Manuel Núñez, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain (co-chair) Jian Pei, SUNY at Buffalo, USA Key Pousttchi, University of Augsburg, Germany H.

Members of the Real-time and Embedded Systems interest group be informed of this FREE Workshop! I believe members will benefit from this workshop, due to the topical subjects covered. Please forward this to your colleagues for their review and consideration. Many Thanks, Joe Bergmann Program Director Real-time and Embedded Systems Forum ********************************************************************************************************** On June 24 and 25th, the University of St. Thomas and The Open Group will host a free workshop on standards in Minneapolis for senior business executives. Four panel sessions have been put together to consider the subject of "Open Source - Open Standards: The Business, Legal, and Technical Challenges Ahead" as well as the ethical and social implications. The goal is to have very brief introductory presentations from the panelists so that we can get the maximum time for questions, discussion and interaction from a select audience. The aim is to capture and publish the issues that are discussed in order to raise the industry awareness of the benefits of Open Source. Following is a summary of what the panels will cover and a list of panelist presenters: Business The business case for Open Source The business drivers for Open Source What is the future of Open Source? Technical Is it robust, scaleable, portable, interoperable? Is it feasible for SME's (small, medium enterprises) to use Open Source? What is coming down the road? Legal Understand licensing and distribution Managing Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Are their any special considerations for IPR? Ethical & Social Implications The ethics and code of conduct for Open Source developers The social ramifications of an Open Source work force What impact will Open Source software have on the IT divide?
