For the past eighteen years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has
been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers
and application developers to gather, interact, and present their work.
SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing
(SIGAPP);
its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM;
they are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library.
More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at

Special Track on E-Commerce Technologies

A few years ago, e-commerce applications were focused primarily on handling
transactions and managing catalogs. Business requirements, however, are
evolving
beyond transaction support to include content management, personalization,
integration, and marketplace enablement. The track will focus on
technologies
currently employed in creating offerings, the latest developments in the
electronic
marketplace, on computational and deployment issues, architectural support,
policies,
and advanced solutions and practices. The track is intended to address the
current
needs of both researchers and practitioners, and to identify significant
research
challenges that will most beneficially impact the future use of e-commerce
applications.

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Electronic Auctions
Agent Technology for E-Commerce
User's Preference Elicitation
Recommender Systems
Formal Methods in e-commerce
Security Aspects
Mass Personalization Technologies
User Modeling and Customer Profiling
Electronic Contracting and Electronic Negotiation
Mobile E-Commerce Applications
Trust and Reputation Systems in E-Commerce
Privacy and Anonymizing Applications
Data Mining for E-Commerce
Semantic Web Enabled E-Commerce
Electronic Payments
