Semantic e-business
Managing knowledge for the coordination of e-business processes through the systematic application of Semantic Web technologies is the focus of semantic e-business. It builds up on Semantic Web technologies, knowledge management and e-business processes. Challenges address the conceptualization how e-business related knowledge is captured, represented, shared, and processed by humans and intelligent software.

Auctions and Automated Negotiation
Interaction Protocols and Mechanism Design
Argumentation-based Negotiation
Coalition Formation and Teams
Contracts and Contracting Issues
Electronic Voting and Market-Oriented Programming
E-Commerce Systems and Commercial Applications
E-Supply Chains and Virtual Organizations
E-Business Case Studies
In constructive research, new prototypes to conduct e-business have emerged over the last couple of years. Although EC-Web focuses on new research ideas, we also welcome case studies that report on applying recent research results in real world environments, such as
E-Procurement
E-Shops
E-Tendering, E-Auctions
E-Markets
E-Payment
Cross-enterprise solutions
Cross-border issues
Mobile e-Business
