Dear Colleagues:

We cordially invite you to submit your latest research results to WeB 2018.

---------------------------
CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------------------
The Workshop on e-Business (WeB) is a premier annual one-day conference on
e-Business and e-Commerce held in conjunction with International Conference
on Information Systems (ICIS). The purpose of WeB is to provide an open
forum for e-Business researchers and practitioners world-wide, to share
topical research findings, explore novel ideas, discuss success stories and
lessons learned, map out major challenges, and collectively chart future
directions for e-Business.

The 17th Workshop on e-Business (WeB) is to be held in San Francisco, CA on
December 12th, 2018. The theme of WeB 2018 is “The Ecosystem of e-Business:
Technologies, Stakeholders, and Connections.” The pace of technology
enabled business innovations has been accelerating in recent years. The
emerging technologies and new business models will undoubtedly affect the
landscape of e-Business by not only transforming traditional e-Business
firms and markets, but also changing the roles of various types of
stakeholders and the connections in business networks. How can we apply new
technologies (e.g., data analytics, artificial intelligence) to enhance the
efficiency and effectiveness of e-Business transactions? How can we make
better decisions based on big data? Will disruptive technologies (e.g.,
blockchain) completely overturn the way how business is conducted? What
impacts will the sharing economy have on global markets? After all, how
will the ecosystem of e-Business be shaped and transforms by all these
changes?

We invite original research articles with a broad coverage of topics on
consumers, citizens, businesses, industries and governments, ranging from
technical to strategic issues. We are calling for papers in the following,
but not limited to, the following areas:


   - Emerging technologies for e-Business
   - Applications of artificial intelligence in e-Business
   - The impacts of blockchain and digital currencies on the global market
   - Peer-to-Peer (P2P) markets and crowd sourcing
   - Sharing economy and its prospects
   - e-Business on social media platforms and mobile apps
   - IoT and e-Business
   - Big data methods, analysis and tools
   - Financial fraud detection
   - Social, ethical, policy, and privacy issues related to e-Business
   - Research methods/methodology, agendas, and work in progress
