Refereed Track: E* Applications: E-Commerce, E-Business, E-Science, E-Learning, and E-Communities

Internet and Web technologies enable new kinds of applications, usually prefixed with a capital "E" as in E-Commerce, E-Business, E-Learning, E-Science or E-Communities. Such applications are often innovative in their use of these technologies, and support or require new work, learning, or business scenarios. Furthermore, focusing on these E* Applications leads to new requirements as well as to interesting new technologies or extensions of existing ones.

The E* Applications Track, new to WWW in 2006 (but unifying and broadening previous WWW tracks in each of E-commerce, education, and applications), provides a unique forum both for describing innovative E* applications and scenarios as well as innovative technologies for these areas. We welcome both studies relating to specific classes of E-Applications and to cross-cutting issues. Relevant topics include, but are not restricted to, the following:

  • Service architectures — distributed Web services; web service technologies for e-Applications; embedded Web applications; Web standards for E* applications; data protection, security and privacy; ubiquitous computing and internet appliances; recommendation, reputation, and trust systems; computational markets for information services
  • Data management — distributed and peer-to-peer-based learning and e-science repositories; scientific metadata and annotation management; intellectual property and digital rights management; data and workflow provenance for e-Science; scientific data quality and data cleaning
  • Web-based collaboration and communities — collaboration and communities in web-based educational environments; E-Learning and E-Science community portals; synchronous collaboration applications and services; enterprise collaboration tools;
  • Web-based workflows — scientific workflows and process automation; automated shopping, trading, and contract management; supply chains, coalitions, and virtual enterprises; web-based problem-solving environments for e-Science
  • Ontologies and the semantic web — semantic Web and ontologies for E* applications; ontology-based data integration and analysis; languages for describing goods, services and contracts; ontologies for e-Science; conceptual modeling and knowledge represention for e-Science
  • Data processing and visualization — data mining, analysis, and statistics in e-Science; scientific visualization and e-Science
  • Experience Reports and case studies for E* applications
