The 21st International Conference on Electronic Commerce (ICEC 2019) will

researchers and practitioners in electronic commerce and related areas with
an opportunity to present original ideas and share insightful opinions. The

Revolution Era.”*

We welcome submissions of original research papers addressing issues
concerning the theory, design, development, evaluation, and application of

Research articles particularly sought after are those motivated by
real-world business problems and validated using rigorous research
methodologies. For more information and program updates, please visit

*[Publication Policy]* We encourage authors to submit full papers or
extended abstracts of research-in-progress, however since 2018, we will
publish only the abstract without making formal conference proceedings to
leave the author’s copyright of publishing the papers in the international
journals. Past ICEC proceedings can be found at www.ACM.org.
