SAC 2007
(http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2007/)

During more than twenty years, the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact, and present their work. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP); its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM’s Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at http://www.acm.org/sigapp
 

Special Track on E-Commerce Technologies

A few years ago, e-commerce applications were focused primarily on handling transactions and managing catalogs. Business requirements, however, are evolving beyond transaction support to include content management, personalization, integration, and marketplace enablement. The track will focus on technologies currently employed in creating offerings, the latest developments in the electronic marketplace, on computational and deployment issues, architectural support, policies, and advanced solutions and practices. The track is intended to address the current needs of both researchers and practitioners, and to identify significant research challenges that will most beneficially impact the future use of e-commerce applications. 

The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
