Preface
The second International Symposium on Electronic Commerce was held in Hong
Kong, April 2001, in conjunction with the fourth International Workshop on the
Technological Challenges of Electronic Commerce. This symposium belongs to the e-
commerce conference series started in 1998 in Toronto, Canada. Since then, every
year, there has been an international workshop on the technological challenges of
electronic commerce, and every other year, in conjunction with the workshop, an
international symposium on electronic commerce is held. The following workshops
have been held so far.
• The first International Workshop on the Technological Challenges of Electronic
Commerce was held in September 1998, in Toronto, Canada.
• The second International Workshop on the Technological Challenges of
Electronic Commerce was held in May 1999, in Beijing, China.
• The third International Workshop on the Technological Challenges of Electronic
Commerce was held in June 2000, in Waterloo, Canada
• The fourth International Workshop on the Technological Challenges of
Electronic Commerce was held in April 2001, in Hong Kong.
The first International Symposium on Electronic Commerce was held in Beijing,
China, May 1999, in conjunction with the second International Workshop on the
Technological Challenges of Electronic Commerce.
The second International Symposium on Electronic Commerce was sponsored by
IBM, the E-Business Technology Institute and the Department of Computer Science
and Information Systems at the University of Hong Kong, the Institute for Global
Electronic Commerce at the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and Hong
Kong Productivity Council. The goal of the symposium was to provide a forum for
researchers, software vendors, and application developers and business users to share
and disseminate information about current important research and application issues
concerning electronic commerce. The symposium featured invited talks given by
leading experts, presentations of refereed papers, and workshops and tutorials
covering the major areas of electronic commerce. The additional goal of the
symposium was to indicate the importance of electronic commerce technologies in the
global marketplace including the fast growing Asia-Pacific market.
The papers accepted by the symposium program committee were gathered for
preparing the proceedings. Among these papers, there are 8 regular papers, 4 short
papers, and 2 survey papers. The authors were from Canada, the United States,
Germany, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and China, respectively. These papers
covered various aspects of electronic commerce, including secure payment, trust and
security, tools for e-commerce applications, and e-commerce frameworks and
systems. There were also two e-commerce survey papers, one on B2B frameworks
and standards, and the other on online auctions.
VI Preface

members of the Steering Committee for their guidance. We especially thank the
conference organizers for the work they put into making this conference a successful
one. We would like to thank the conference sponsors, particularly IBM China
Limited/Hong Kong and IBM Centre for Advanced Study, for their support. Finally,
we thank the authors of all submitted papers, in particular the accepted ones, the
invited speakers, tutorial instructors, workshop session chairs and speakers, and all
the participants who contributed to the success of the symposium.
