Overview
----------
E-commerce is growing at a staggering pace all over the world. Billions of
dollars are being invested in E-commerce ventures. Efficient and convenient
E-business systems are vital in improving business performance.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are widely used in various
industries. Now a days AI is also emerging in the E-commerce industry. AI
is useful in searching the web, helping consumers in comparing various shops
and items, automatically notifying customers with relevant events, and so
on. Lot of research, development, and business is going on in this new
multi-disciplinary filed.
This workshop attracts people from all over the world, who are working in
academic institutions, research centers, businesses, governments, and
information technology. This is a major venue for people working in any
aspect of the application of AI to electronic commerce.
Scope:
--------
The scope of the workshop includes:
Agent architectures
Case-based reasoning
Collaborative filtering
Configuration & design
Data mining
Human, computer interaction
Intelligent/adaptive user interfaces
Information retrieval and knowledge-based search
Knowledge representation
