The 2005 IEEE International Conference on e-Technology, e-Commerce and e-Service (EEE-05)

The 2005 IEEE International Conference on E-Technology, E-Commerce and E-Service (EEE-05) will be held in Hong Kong, March 29 - April 1, 2005. The conference aims to bring together researchers and developers from diverse areas of computing, developers and practitioners to explore and address the challenging research issues on e-technology in order to develop a common research agenda and vision for e-commerce and e-business.

The EEE05 Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to be presented at the 2005 IEEE International Conference on E-Technology, E-Commerce and E-Service (EEE-05). The workshops will be held on the first day of the conference, March 29, 2005, at the conference site.

Workshop proposals should be submitted as outlined below. EEE05 workshops provide organizers and participants with an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic related to the conference scope related to e-technology. Often, workshops concentrate on an emerging topic of technical interest (e.g., Ubiquitous computing, M-commerce, E/M-Service Quality Management), unique area of application for e-technologies (e.g., E-Finance, E-Government), or a community-wide issue that deserves specialized attention.

Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, the goals of the workshop, and the size of the interested community. Proposals should identify one or more chairs and several other individuals willing to serve on an organizing committee and assist with publicity and reviewing.

−	Description: What will the workshop be about? Why is the topic best addressed in an EEE05 workshop, as opposed to a workshop at another conference or papers in an EEE05 technical session?
−	Goals: What do you expect will come out of the workshop? How will the workshop change participants' understanding of the area?
−	Format: How will the workshop sessions be scheduled? How much time will be used for discussion, panel discussions, paper presentations, invited talks, or other methods for encouraging communication and consensus? Organizers are encouraged to focus on mechanisms other than traditional paper presentations and to differentiate themselves clearly from typical conference sessions.
−	Publicity: How do you intend to publicize the workshop? How will you reach the most interested and appropriate participants?
−	Potential participants: Who are potential participants in the workshop?
−	Organizers: Please include the name, postal address, phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair and each member of the organizing committee. In addition, indicate the chairs' background in the workshop area.

Proposals will be reviewed by the workshop chair and members of the organizing committee. Please, submit your proposal in electronic form (plain text, PostScript, or PDF) to the workshop chair.
