Conference Aims and Objectives

The rapid development of the Internet and e-commerce has dramatically changed the role of information technologies in contemporary business. The use of Web technology to transform conventional businesses has taken place around the world at an accelerating pace. An expanding array of dynamic, innovative Web-enabled personalized and intelligent applications have been developed and deployed, spanning business intelligence, ERP, CRM, and SCM. Such applications have created significant business values in terms of cost reductions and organizational competitiveness enhancements. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an open forum for e-business researchers and practitioners to share research findings, explore novel ideas, and collectively chart future directions of e-business. We welcome research papers that examine technical, managerial, behavioral, and economic aspects of Web-enabled business solutions and services.

The theme of this year’s workshop is on Web-enabled business values. Emphasis will be placed on the use of Web-based systems for service enhancements, enterprise systems integration, business intelligence, and channel improvements. Web intelligence and service integrations using Web technologies are examples of the emerging enablers to create business values through dynamic and/or personalized e-business services and applications. This workshop seeks research articles with a broad coverage of technical, managerial, economic, and strategic issues surrounding e-businesses. Researchers who investigate the modeling, architectural, analytical, theoretical, empirical, and practical issues of Web-enabled business values are particularly encouraged to submit their exciting works to the workshop.
