RESEARCH TRACK

The theme for this year’s conference is eCollaboration: Overcoming Boundaries Through Multi-Channel Interaction, a reference to the increasing importance of electronic collaboration and the rapidly developing opportunities for individual and organisational interaction made possible by new technology and re-configured processes. These changes not only support ever-closer cooperation amongst different types of organisations nationally and internationally, but are changing the whole shape of our society and the ways in which we interact. You are encouraged to propose a research paper, a panel, a workshop, or a meeting. Research papers should be original, unpublished elsewhere and no longer than 5,000 words in length. All accepted papers will be published in the Conference Proceedings on the web (with ISBN and CIP number).

THE BLED OUTSTANDING PAPER AWARD

The Bled eConference has been in operation longer than any other eCommerce event. It has made, and continues to make, substantial intellectual contributions to progress in “e” research and teaching. In recognition of this, an Outstanding Paper Award was instituted in 1999. The Award was established by a group of professors who have been long associated with the event. A panel of judges will select the winning author(s) from papers submitted to the Research Stream. The Award will be evidenced by a plaque presented to the author(s).

Outstanding Paper Award Committee Chair

Roger Clarke , Principal & Visiting Fellow
