Second IEEE International Workshop on
Electronic Contracting (WEC '05)
July 18, 2005, Munich, Germany
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Claudio_Bartolini/Wec05.html
 
Call for Papers
 
Real world commerce is largely built on a fabric of contracts. Considered 
abstractly, a contract is an agreed framework of rules used by separately 
interested parties to coordinate their plans in order to realize 
cooperative opportunities, while simultaneously limiting their risk from 
each other's misbehavior. Electronic commerce is encouraging the growth of 
contract-like mechanisms whose terms are partially machine understandable 
and enforceable.

Building on the success of the First IEEE International Workshop on 
Electronic Contracting (WEC-04), this second edition is the forum to 
discuss innovative ideas at the interface between business, legal, and 
formal notions of contracts. The target audiences will be mainly 
researchers, scientists, software architects, but also contract lawyers, 
economists, and industry professionals who need to be acquainted with the 
state of the art technologies and the future trends in electronic 
contracting. The event will take place in Munich, Germany on July 18, 
2005. IEEE WEC 2005 will be held in conjunction with The International 
Conference on Electronic Commerce (IEEE CEC 2005).

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: 

Contract languages and user interfaces
Computer aided contract design, construction, and composition Computer 
aided approaches to contract negotiation Role of electronic contracts in 
IT governance Relationship of electronic and legal enforcement mechanisms 
Electronic vs. legal concepts of non-repudiation Privacy vs. reputation 
and recourse Contracts and mechanism design
