Call for Proposals for the Professor Rene W. Wagenaar ePrototype  
Bazaar of the 23rd Bled eConference, June 20-23, 2010

(See also: http://www.bledconference.org/public/conferences/2/Bazaar_CfP_eBled2010.pdf)

PhD-students, Master students and distinctive students (like honors  
students) are invited to submit proposals for innovative eBusiness  
ideas (i.e. business models, frameworks) and software prototypes for  
the Professor Rene W. Wagenaar ePrototype Bazaar, a regular session  
that is part of the 23rd Bled eConference. Accepted proposals are  
presented in poster format during the conference, as well as by oral  
presentation. The oral presentation is scheduled in a dedicated  
session, where students will present their eBusiness models and  
prototypes.  They discuss their ideas with conference participants who  
will also jury and score the proposals. Preference will be given to  
prototypes proposing innovative or revolutionary eBusiness solutions,  
and new ways to implement eBusiness, as well as new ideas for business  
in Cyberspace.

Professors: The bazaar is intended for distinctive, MSc as well as PhD  
students. The bazaar is not an outlet for what might otherwise be a  
full conference paper.

Students: Please submit a short  (1,000 words) proposal before March   
26, 2010 describing your e-business idea or prototype. Also briefly  
describe what you want to present as a poster and by oral presentation  
in an email (with an optional URL for further information) to the  
ePrototype Bazaar co-chairs. Descriptions will be used to decide which  
ideas/models and/or prototypes to invite.

Submissions must be supported by students’ professor/supervisor.  
Please attach a statement of support to your application. Conference  
fee for prototype presenters will be waived. The presenter is expected  
to cover her/his travel costs to the conference as well as the  
accommodation. The best paper of Msc and of PhD students will be  
rewarded with the Rene Wagenaar Award for Msc and PhD students.

Important dates:
26 March 2010 – Submission of proposal

9 April 2010 – Notification of acceptance

The Bled eConference Committee is expressing appreciation of Rene's  
contribution in the past years. Among others, he has brought a group  
of three students to Bled in 1992 for the first time. After the  
conference, they have taken one of the University of Maribor students  
to the Erasmus University in Rotterdam (Rene's university at that  
time) for two weeks. That has meant a major change in a way we were  
involving students into the Bled eConference program since than. One  
of the results was a formalization of the prototypes presentations,  
named "Students Bazaar" in recent years. From 2007 on, the ePrototype  
Bazaar of the annual Bled eConference is named in  Rene’s honor.
