The International Conference on Electronic commerce (ICEC) provides a forum for the top of the scientific research community in e-commerce from all over the world annually. After holding the conference in Canada, USA, and Austria in the past three years, we are returning to Asia and hosting ICEC'09 in Taipei, Taiwan.

ICEC'09 will feature invited keynote presentations, panels on topical issues on technology, business, and public policy, refereed paper presentations on emerging and continuing research issues, and tutorials and workshops on new areas of service science and management.

The theme of ICEC'09 is “Service Innovations for E-commerce”, Along with ICT enhancement and business integration, e-commerce has become common practices for many business transactions. It has emerged with business processes to deliver values to internal and external customers. The demand of customer-centric services requires innovative approaches to identify customer needs, and design effective processes to deliver values to customers, especially facing the increasing number of Web-based applications (e.g., Web 2.0). Thus, the study of the innovation in services for e-commerce will become the next wave of e-commerce research and practices. This conference aims to facilitate the dialogues among experts in academic and industries to exchange insights in related issues, and hopefully boost up research momentum across disciplines to contribute to service innovations for e-commerce.
