presentations, workshops, and tutorials covering all areas of electronic
commerce. The natural focus of the conference is on computer science
issues, but the conference is interdisciplinary in nature, addressing

conference will be held from Monday June 11th through Friday June 15th, 2007
at the FCRC'07 in San Diego, California, USA. Tutorials
and workshops will be held on Monday June 11th and Tuesday June 12th,
2007. Accepted technical papers and invited talks will be presented from
Wednesday June 13th through Friday June 15th, 2007. ================ PAPER
SUBMISSION ================ The
conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and tutorial proposals;
see below) on all aspects of electronic commerce. Submitted papers
will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and
exposition. They should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance
to electronic commerce, and its relation to prior research. Submissions
to be considered for publication in the archival ACM proceedings may
be up to 10 pages (including the bibliography), in 10-point font, double-column
format, with reasonable margins and interline spacing. Additional
details may be included in appendices beyond the 10 page limit but
will only be read at the discretion of the reviewers. These submissions must
not have appeared before (or be pending to appear) in a journal or conference
with published proceedings, nor may they be under review or submitted
to another forum during the EC'07 review process. All accepted submissions
will need to be migrated to the publisher's format/macros for the
proceedings. Accepted
papers will be presented at the conference in one of two formats:
(1) a long oral presentation or (2) a short oral presentation coupled
with placement in a poster session. Presentation format will be chosen
by the program committee with the goal of encouraging breadth and diversity
among oral presentations. Presentation format will have no bearing
on how papers appear in the archival conference proceedings:
all accepted papers will be allotted 10 pages in the proceedings. To
accommodate the publishing traditions of different fields, authors may instead
submit working papers that are under review or nearly ready for journal
review. These submissions will be subject to review and considered for
presentation at the conference but not for publication in the proceedings.
These submissions need not conform to the conference paper format.
Abstracts of accepted working papers will be included in the proceedings
and must be coupled with a URL that points to the full paper and will
be reliable for at least two years. Open access is preferred although the paper
can be hosted by a publisher who takes copyright and limits access,
as long as there is a link to the location. The
co-chairs intend to invite a subset of the papers accepted to EC'07
for submission in extended form to a special issue of Games and Economic
Behavior. Moshe Tennenholtz (Technion University) will join David Parkes
and Paul Resnick as a guest editor of this special issue. Electronic
submission in PDF or Microsoft Word DOC format is required. Details
on the submission procedure will be made available on the main conference
web page. =============================== WORKSHOP
AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS =============================== The
conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held
in conjunction with the conference. Tutorial
proposals should contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page description
of the topic matter, the names and short biographies of the tutor(s),
and dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if
any). Workshop
proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the names and short
biographies of the organizers, and the names of confirmed or candidate participants.
Workshop proposals should also include a two-page description describing
the theme, the reviewing process for participants, the organization
of the workshop, and required facilities for the workshop. Informal
suggestions for workshop or tutorial ideas can also be sent without a
full proposal to the workshop and tutorial chairs at any time. Tutorial
proposals should be sent by January 5, 2007 to ec07-tutorials@umich.edu
Workshop proposals should be sent by January 5, 2007
to ec07-workshops@umich.edu ========= KEY
