NAEC 2013 - The 2013 Networking and Electronic Commerce Research Conference (NAEC 2013)

Networking has been the fundamental technology fostering the development of the web and electronic commerce. Electronic commerce has emerged as a dramatic new model of conducting business. Advances in networking, automated processes, decision technologies, economics, and management are already forcing dramatic changes in a variety of industries, ranging from banking and finance to music and entertainment, to manufacturing and distribution. Yet, the electronic business space is still in a relatively early state of evolution, and many of the significant advances in understanding the interaction between the two fields and their impact on the implementation of e-commerce are occurring in academia and industry.
The 2013 Networking and Electronic Commerce Research Conference (NAEC 2013), follows the successful series of NAEC conferences which were held in the same location. NAEC conferences bring together academic and industrial researchers from various fields on an ongoing, annual basis to discuss developments and challenges of networking and electronic business understood in the largest possible sense of the term. The aim of the conference is to provide a high quality forum for the presentation of results, exchange of ideas, and scientific discussions on challenges, methodologies, new technologies and their impact.
