Research Stream

The Bled eCommerce Conference has featured research papers since its inception in 1988. A fully refereed Research Stream was established in 1995, running four parallel streams of about 50 papers each year, with an acceptance rate generally around 50%.

The Award Committee changes each year and comprises of Outstanding Paper Award committee chair, a research track chair and co-chair for the year and a PC chair.

For the 2021 conference, the committee was comprised of the following members:

The Outstanding Reviewer Award has been initiated by Professor Roger Bons. Bled eConference relies on the work of the program committee, authors and supporters to ensure a double-blind review of each paper. The Bled Conference team believes that the review process is a key component of the tight-knit Bled community. We are proud of Bled eConference as a space for researchers to share ideas, receive constructive feedback, and find opportunities for collaboration among Bled community members.

The Outstanding Reviewer Award is our way to thank the individuals that share our community view and maintain positive, development-oriented attitudes through their reviews.
