In addition to the regular research program, ICEC’09 invites proposals for tutorials to be held at the conference hotel of ICEC’09 on August 12, 2009. The Tutorial Track is a multi-dimensional channel aiming to share a wide variety of industry and educational knowledge and experiences. A tutorial should present the state of the art of an e-commerce area enabling attendees to fully appreciate the latest trends, current issues, main schools of thought, and cutting-edge technology. Tutorials can be created to discuss the challenges and achievements of new technologies and e-business applications, educating students, and transferring and creating new knowledge between academia and industry.

Proposals can be any topic related to e-commerce and issues related to the theme of the conferences are particularly welcome. Proposals for tutorials should include:

  1. Title of the tutorial.
  2. Description of topic(s) and content(s) of the tutorial.
  3. Detailed contact information of the tutorial presenter(s).
  4. Length (half day or 1.5 hours) of the proposed tutorial.
  5. Short description of the audience to which the tutorial is addressed.
  6. Schedule and agenda of the tutorial.
  7. Resources (other than room) required to be provided by the conference organizer.

Please submit the tutorial proposal before May 1, 2009 to the Tutorial Chair of ICEC’09, Weiling Ke (wke@clarkson.edu). For any inquiries relating to the proposal submission, please contact the Tutorial Chair as well.
