Subject: fast track e-commerce papers
Special Issue on E-Commerce
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, Part A
Target Publication Date: May, 2000 (Volume 30, No. 3)
The IEEE Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Society invites timely papers on
e-commerce to publish in its Transactions. Both theoretical and
empirically based research papers are welcome. Successful papers of this
special, fast-track review issue will meet IEEE's usual archival
standards and contribute new basic results to this rapidly growing
field. Their focus will not be the practice of e-commerce per se (e.g.,
familiar business applications of Internet technology), but rather be
the new knowledge that will further solidify and grow e-commerce. For
instance, making e-commerce truly pervasive will require new system
technologies in such areas as ubiquitous computing, distributed
intelligence, and large-scale optimization. In a similar way, e-commerce
also needs new human-net interface to support the users utilizing the
vast amount of information available on the net and making optimal
transactions for their best well being. Furthermore, to reap
e-commerce's benefits, its impact on society, organizations, and
inter-personal relationships has to be understood and positively
managed. Finally, new models of e-commerce are inevitable as the current
practices (e.g., business-to-customer and business-to-business) evolve,
driven by new capabilities and new demands. These new knowledge could
come from new thinking of previous results in the new light of
e-commerce, as well as from new original works.
This fast-track review process has a few important dates:
Submission Due: October 31, 1999
Acceptance Notification (with revision request): December 10, 1999
Final Paper Due: January 15, 2000.
Please send five (5) copies of the paper in the usual IEEE Transactions
format to:
