The Call For Papers can be found at _http://www.ieee-infocom.org/2004/_. We are well aware that there is concern about SARS among some potential authors. However, the lifting of the travel advisories on Hong Kong by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) affirms that SARS is under control. There has not been any new SARS case in Hong Kong for the past several days. Of all the cities under WHO travel advisory in the rest of China, Beijing is the only one which remains on the list, although we expect it to be removed soon. While we continue to closely monitor the situation, be assured that we do have contingency plans. We will see what happens the rest of this year and will be prepared to reevaluate the situation in late November before the Advance Program is published. For now, we would like to reassure you all that IEEE INFOCOM 2004 will be held as planned. We encourage you to submit your work before July 1, 2003, and be considered to present your paper in a beautiful setting overlooking Hong Kong Harbor. You may also be interested to know that to welcome the world back to Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Tourism Board has prepared "coupons" to enhance overseas visitors' experience. These coupons will be available for download from the INFOCOM website soon, and you can redeem them when you come to Hong Kong next March.

Sistemas Inform\'aticos y Programaci\'on Universidad Complutense de Madrid http://dalila.sip.ucm.es/~manolo phone: +34-91-3947628 [Apologies for multiple copies] ================================================================= E-commerce Technologies (http://dalila.sip.ucm.es/e-comSAC04/) Special Track at the 19th ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, SAC 2004 (http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2004) March 14-17, 2004 Nicosia, Cyprus The University of Cyprus in Nicosia For the past eighteen years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact, and present their work. 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. Raghav Rao, SUNY at Buffalo, USA Fernando Rubio, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain Raghu T. Santanam, Arizona State University, USA Peter Wurman, North Carolina State University, USA (co-chair) Proceedings Papers accepted for the Special Track will be published by ACM both in the SAC 2004 proceedings and in the Digital Library. Paper submission The body of the paper should not exceed 5,000 words (approximately 15 pages, double-spaced). A separate cover sheet should be sent separately from the main paper. The cover sheet should include the title of the paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s), and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and FAX) to which correspondence should be sent. Papers should be sent electronically in postscript or pdf by using the web-server that will be available nearer the deadline at http://dalila.sip.ucm.es/e-comSAC04/.
