Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services : Second International Workshop, DEECS 2006, San Francisco, CA, USA, June 26, 2006 PDF

Welcome to the second International Workshop on Data Engineering Issues in E-Commerce and Services (DEECS 2006) in conjunction with the 8th IEEE Conference on E-Commerce Technology and the third IEEE Conference on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services.

The purpose of the DEECS workshop is to provide an annual forum for exchange of state-of-the-art research and development in e-commerce and services.

Since the increasing demand on e-commerce and services, we are witnessing a continuing growth of interest in the workshop.

The increased number of submissions this year includes a record number from Asia.

We received 47 papers: 6 from North/South America, 9 from Europe, and 32 from Asia.

Of these, 15 regular papers and 8 short papers were accepted.

The technical program reflects an increasing development of principles in service engineering, service-oriented architecture, data and knowledge engineering, and business models and analysis.

It also reflects an increased emphasis on system and tool implementation, and applications to service practices, evidencing a maturation of the underlying principles.
