> Ricardo Baeza-Yates (Yahoo! Research) - "Web Advertising"
>
> We will outline the science and the technology behind web advertising. We we
> will first review the various forms of web advertising served up by
> advertising networks such as Google, MSN and Yahoo!. We will then introduce
> the technical challenges and solutions for such problems as: given a users
> search query, how do we determine which advertisement(s) to present? Of all
> the advertisers who wish to present their ads on a particular query, who
> should succeed? The solutions to these problems span fields from text mining
> and retrieval, to the theory of auctions and marketplaces. We conclude by
> discussing some of the ethical, legal and privacy challenges around the
> responsible use of data for web advertising. Michael Kifer (Stony Brook
> University)

> EC-Web 2010
>
> After the initial enthusiastic initiatives and investments and the eventual
> bubble, Electronic Commerce has changed and evolved in a well established
> and founded reality both from a technological point of view and from a
> scientific one. Nevertheless, together with its evolution, new challenges
> and topics have emerged as well as new questions have raised related to many
> aspects of Electronic Commerce.
>
> After the lesson learned during last years and following the successful
> edition of EC-Web 2009, for its 11th edition EC-Web will try to provide a
> clearer description of the Electronic Commerce universe focusing on some
> relevant topics. The main focus is not only on Internet related techniques
> and approaches. The aim of EC-Web 2010 is to cover also aspects related to
> theoretical foundations of E-Commerce, Business Processes as well as new
> approaches exploiting recently emerged technologies and scenarios such as
> Semantic Web, Web services, SOA architectures, mobile and ubiquitous
> computing, just to cite a few. Due to their central role in any realistic
> e-commerce infrastructure security and privacy issues are widely considered,
> without excluding legal and regulatory aspects.
>
> We encourage papers that present innovative solutions for classical
> E-Commerce issues, such as e-negotiation, recommender systems, secure
> payments, as well as for new emerging areas, such as Computational and
> Search Advertising, Semantic Web, agent-based E-Commerce, applied Web
> Services, applied soft computing, information retrieval and information
> filtering techniques in web and/or e-commerce environments.
>
> Although the conference seems naturally focused on computer science issues,
> we welcome and encourage research contributions from economics, business
> administration, law, sociology and other disciplines. In particular, papers
> about web marketing and its non-technical aspects, as well as about social
> aspects of e-commerce are encouraged. We also welcome papers reporting
> about
> innovative applications and case studies in the field of E-Commerce
> and/or Web
> Applications, like, e.g., Electronic Voting and Sponsored web search.
>
> In order to provide a better categorization and classification of its
> main goals,
> Ec-Web 2010 will be organized as a multi-track conference.
> Each track will be organized as a mini-conference with corresponding
> reference area
> chairs. Even though the main focus of the conference concerns the
> relationship
> between E-commerce and emerging technologies, with strong attention toward
> semantics aspects, contributions about theoretical issues as well as
> cross-track
> contributions are very welcome.
