economic aspects of the Internet. The first workshop took place in
October 1997 with world-wide participation by people working on
Internet-related topics in industry, universities and government
institutions. A selection of workshop papers has been published in
various volumes of Netnomics.
For the third workshop we invite submissions of extended abstracts.
In particular we encourage recently graduated students to contribute
with a submission.
