The conference will be held from Monday, June 7 through Friday June 11
at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Tutorials and Workshops
will be held on Monday June 7 and Tuesday June 8. Accepted technical
papers and invited talks will be presented from Wednesday June 9 through
Friday June 11, 2010.
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. All accepted submissions will need to be migrated
to the publisher's format/macros for the proceedings. Instructions will
be given by the publisher after the paper is accepted. Accepted papers
will be presented at the conference in one of two formats: (1) a long
oral presentation or (2) a short oral presentation. Presentation format
will be chosen by the program committee with the goal of encouraging
breadth and diversity among 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.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: 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 only a one
page abstract will appear in the proceedings with a URL that points to
the full paper and that 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. Electronic submission 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. Submission information can be found on the
conference website.
