Welcome to the 12th International Conference on Electronic Commerce (ICEC2010). As the conference enters its 12th edition, its objective continues to provide a forum for participants to exchange their research work and explore future collaboration.
The theme of this year's conference is "Roadmap for the Future of Electronic Business." As e-business has come of age with spectacular successes in a number of business areas --- from the explosion of B2B to the worldwide growth of e-tailing and e-marketing, we would like to take advantage of the ICEC forum to ponder about the next possible wave of e-business --- from social commerce to the new technologies that would further enable new e-business models, such as mobile applications. For this purpose, we have lined up two major conference tracks:
• Social Commerce and Web Services
• Technology and E-Commerce Business Models
