The conference will be held from Monday, June 7 through Friday June 11 at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Tutorials and Workshops will be held on Monday June 7 and Tuesday June 8. Accepted technical papers and invited talks will be presented from Wednesday June 9 through Friday June 11, 2010.

PAPER SUBMISSION

The conference is soliciting full papers (as well as workshop and tutorial proposals; see below) on all aspects of electronic commerce. Submitted papers will be evaluated on significance, originality, technical quality, and exposition. They should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance to electronic commerce, and its relation to prior research. Submissions to be considered for publication in the archival ACM proceedings may be up to 10 pages (including the bibliography), in 10-point font, double-column format, with reasonable margins and interline spacing. Additional details may be included in appendices beyond the 10 page limit but will only be read at the discretion of the reviewers. These submissions must not have appeared before (or be pending to appear) in a journal or conference with published proceedings. All accepted submissions will need to be migrated to the publisher's format/macros for the proceedings. Instructions will
be given by the publisher after the paper is accepted.

Accepted papers will be presented at the conference in one of two formats:
(1) a long oral presentation or (2) a short oral presentation. Presentation format will be chosen by the program committee with the goal of encouraging breadth and diversity among presentations. Presentation format will have no bearing on how papers appear in the archival conference proceedings: all accepted papers will be allotted 10 pages in the proceedings.

WORKSHOP AND TUTORIAL PROPOSALS

The conference is soliciting proposals for tutorials and workshops to be held in conjunction with the conference. Tutorial proposals should contain the title of the tutorial, a two-page description of the topic matter, the names and short biographies of the tutor(s), and dates/venues where earlier versions of the tutorial were given (if any).
Workshop proposals should contain the title of the workshop, the names and short biographies of the organizers, and the names of confirmed or candidate participants. Workshop proposals should also include a two-page description describing the theme, the reviewing process for participants, the organization of the workshop, and required facilities for the workshop. Informal suggestions for workshop or tutorial ideas can also be sent without a full proposal to the workshop and tutorial chairs at any time. Submission information can be found on the conference website.
