International Conference on Technology and Innovation in Marketing (ICTIM 2008)

The Marketing Tool Kit is experiencing tremendous amounts of innovation today. The boom in direct and database marketing, the dawning of electronic commerce, new ways to automate sales force management, and the sudden blossoming of the World Wide Web all suggest that the discipline is under pressure to reshape(John Deighton). Business discountinuities like deregulation, globalization, technological convergence, and the rapid evolution of the Internet have blurred the roles that companies play with their customers and redefined the way value is created and delivered. C.K.Prahalad in his landmark article “Co opting customer competence” demonstrated the need to regard the customer as co producers and competitors in value creation and extraction. Technology is affecting marketing by enhancing speed, customization, and individuation. The internet has enabled customer interactivity, low cost product and service delivery and experiential customer marketing. Future technological advances like the web 2.0, consumer electronic devices like the handheld PCs, cell phones, and media platforms have the potential to disrupt the current value-chains and enable new ways of creating and delivering value.

The First International Workshop on Security for Mobile Wireless Communications

Mobile Wireless Communications enable the exchange of information in a real, or near real-time manner, without the constraint of a fixed point of access. Reliable and secure communications combined with constant and universal network availability, are key elements for the successful commercialization of the applications that utilize the wireless technology. However, new security challenges emerge due to the dynamic network topology, the open nature of the wireless medium, the resource constraints of the mobile devices and, possibly, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure. The workshop on Security for Mobile Wireless Communication (SeMIC), held in conjunction with COMSWARE 2008, seeks submissions from the academia and industry, that present novel approaches on addressing security issues for mobile wireless communications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Authentication and access control * Secure MAC/PHY protocols for mobile networks * Cooperation, fairness and incentive -based security * Key management for wireless/mobile environments * Trust establishment * Intrusion detection in mobile networks * Accountability for malicious behavior and resource misuse * Revocation of malicious parties * Secure location services * Privacy, anonymity and prevention of traffic analysis * Security in cognitive radios * Security in vehicular networks * Anti-Jamming techniques, and DoS Countermeasures * Vulnerability modeling and threat analysis * Security & privacy in RFID systems * Secure routing Paper submission instructions ============================= Submission of papers based on work-in-progress is encouraged. Submitted papers must not be previously published elsewhere or currently under review for any other publication. Please direct any questions regarding the paper submission process to the Program Co-Chairs. All submissions are limited to 6 PAGES in fonts no smaller than 10pt, and must be in standard IEEE double-column format. Each submission should start with the title, abstract, and names and contact information of authors. The introduction should give background and summarize the contributions of the paper at a level appropriate for a non-specialist reader. All paper submissions will be handled electronically via the COCUS system. Authors should prepare a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of their paper.

In the workshop spirit, ample time will be made available to allow for a full exploration of the ideas contained within – and the implications of – each paper and, where appropriate, for discussion on methodological issues arising from the research. As a consequence, research supervisors may feel that this workshop is a particularly useful venue for papers arising from doctoral/post-graduate research projects. The Programme Committee actively seeks papers describing novel, radical and, indeed, controversial ideas – papers may describe either competed research or work in progress. Researchers are encouraged to submit either “work in progress” papers (around 3,000 words), or full papers on completed research (around 5,000 words). Papers should be original and not previously published. All papers will be double-blind-reviewed by two members of the Programme Committee, experienced researchers with extensive expertise in the area. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings which will be available, in CD-ROM format, at the Conference itself; and from the CollECTeR web site. Additional copies of the Proceedings on CD-ROM will also be available for purchase. Authors will be required to transfer a non-exclusive right to publish the paper within the conference proceedings (in CD-ROM, WWW and paper formats) but this does not preclude the authors from later publication of the paper elsewhere. The highlighted topic area for CollECTeR 2007 is “E-Enterprise Integration” and suggested topics for papers include (but are not restricted to): Integrating E-Business into the organisation Effective E-Government Service Delivery Mobile applications for the Real World E-CRM Value creation for the E-Enterprise Integrating RFID into the Business Security and Privacy in the E-Enterprise Integrated Electronic Markets Using Electronic Documents to enable the E-Enterprise and other topics relevant to the workshop theme ...

Search Engine Strategies (SES) @ ILM 07

Search Engine Strategies is partnering with The Kelsey Group to bring tactical SEM and SEO sessions to the Interactive Local Media conference (ILM:07). Local search is heating up as one of the most important verticals for search marketers. Local search services offer unprecedented channels to reach consumers who, even though they search extensively before buying, still make the majority of purchases at local brick-and-mortar retailers. Local search also provides great opportunities for marketers looking to target people looking for local services, entertainment or events. Despite the furious competition between Google, Yahoo!, MSN and directories in local (and maps), no one yet owns the category, and there are literally dozens of smaller players that offer compelling alternatives for search marketers. Knowing which players are making a difference is key to success in any local search marketing campaign. Event Overview: * The major players in the local search arena will describe their services and opportunities for search marketers. * Hear case studies from search marketers who've successfully leveraged the local search channel. * Learn how to take advantage of the unique search optimization and advertising challenges posed by local search services. * Participate in Q&A sessions with experts in local search.

i n recent years, the Web has moved from a simple one-way communication channel extending traditional media, to a complex "peer-to-peer" communication space with a blurred author/audience distinction and new ways to create, share and use knowledge in a social way. This change of paradigm is currently profoundly transforming most areas of our life: our interactions with other people, our relationships, ways of gathering informations, ways of developing social norms, opinions, attitudes and even legal aspects as well as ways of working and doing business. That change also raises a strong need for theoretical, empirical and applied studies related to how people may interact on the Web, how they actually do so and what new possibilities and challenges are emerging in the social, business and technology dimensions. Topics of this year's workshop cover:

Users in the social Web

User identity/identities on the Web

Activity patterns

Privacy / intimacy in the social Web

Psychological aspects of acting in social Web

Communities on the Web
