Call for Papers – RSEEM 2006
The 13th Research Symposium on Emerging Electronic Markets (RSEEM 2006)

23-25 September 2006, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany

Co-Located with the First International Pragmatic Web Conference,
21-23 September 2006, University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany

Electronic markets have been a prominent topic of research for the past decade. Moreover, we have seen the rise but also the disappearance of many electronic marketplaces in practice. Today, electronic markets are a firm component of inter-organisational exchanges and can be observed in many branches. The annual Research Symposium on Emerging Electronic Markets (RSEEM) has been concerned with various topics concerning electronic markets in research and practice. RSEEM provides a forum for presenting and discussing research results as well as work in progress in electronic markets and electronic commerce in general.

This year’s focus theme is Evolution in Electronic Markets. Looking back at more than 10 years of research activities in electronic markets, the evolution can be well observed. While electronic commerce activities were based largely on catalogue-based shopping, there are now many examples that go beyond pure catalogues. For example, dynamic and flexible electronic transactions such as electronic negotiations and electronic auctions are enabled. Negotiations and auctions are the basis for inter-organisational trade exchanges about services as well as products. Mass customisation opens up new opportunities for electronic markets. Multi-channel electronic commerce represents today’s various requirements posed on information and communication technology as well as organisational structures. In recent years, service-oriented architectures of electronic markets have enabled ICT infrastructures for supporting flexible e-commerce and e-market solutions. We call for theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and applied papers related to the focus theme.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Dynamic and flexible electronic transactions
• Negotiation support systems for electronic markets
• Auction mechanisms for electronic markets
• Multi-channel e-commerce
• Cross-channel e-commerce
• Mass-customised transactions
• New market mechanisms
• Modeling of market mechanisms
• Governance mechanisms of markets
• Evolutionary market engineering
• Empirical research on electronic markets
• Country and industry-specific aspects of electronic markets 

It has been a good tradition to encourage PhD students, junior researchers, and senior researchers to submit their work. In order to stimulate a lively discussion at the conference, the number of participants will be limited to around 30.

In 2006, the conference will be held in Stuttgart, Germany at Hohenheim University. Submissions of abstracts of up to 1500 words in English should be sent to rseem2006@wi1.uni-hohenheim.de. Authors of accepted abstracts can then submit full papers before 18 August 2006. There will be electronic proceedings of RSEEM 2006.

Important Dates:

• Abstract deadline: 30 June 2006
• Notification of acceptance: 28 July 2006
• Final version deadline: 25 August 2006
• Conference: 23-25 September 2006
