            Call for Workshop Proposals for 
    The 2005 IEEE International Conference on E-Technology, 
            E-Commerce and E-Service (EEE05) 
------------------------------------------------------------ 
 
The 2005 IEEE International Conference on E-Technology, 
E-Commerce and E-Service (EEE-05) will be held in Hong Kong, 
March 29 - 1st April, 2005. The conference aims to bring 
together researchers and developers from diverse areas of 
computing, developers and practitioners to explore and 
address the challenging research issues on e-technology 
in order to develop a common research agenda and vision 
for e-commerce and e-business. 
 
The EEE05 Organizing Committee invites proposals for 
workshops to be presented at the 2005 IEEE International 
Conference on E-Technology, E-Commerce and E-Service (EEE-05). 
The workshops will be held on the first day of the conference, 
March 29, 2005, at the conference site. 
 
Workshop proposals should be submitted as outlined below. 
EEE05 workshops provide organizers and participants with 
an opportunity to focus intensively on a specific topic 
related to the conference scope related to e-technology. 
Often, workshops concentrate on an emerging topic of 
technical interest (e.g., Ubiquitous computing, M-commerce, 
E/M-Service Quality Management), unique area of application 
for e-technologies (e.g., E-Finance, E-Government), or a 
community-wide issue that deserves specialized attention. 
 
Proposals 
--------- 
Workshop proposals should provide sufficient information 
to evaluate the quality and importance of the topic, 
the goals of the workshop, and the size of the interested 
community. Proposals should identify one or more chairs 
and several other individuals willing to serve on an 
organizing committee and assist with publicity and 
reviewing. Proposals should be 2-4 pages and contain 
at least the following information 
 
- Description: What will the workshop be about? Why is 
  the topic best addressed in an EEE05 workshop, as opposed 
  to a workshop at another conference or papers in an EEE05 
  technical session? 
- Goals: What do you expect will come out of the workshop? 
  How will the workshop change participants' understanding of 
  the area? 
- Format: How will the workshop sessions be scheduled? How 
  much time will be used for discussion, panel discussions, 
  paper presentations, invited talks, or other methods for 
  encouraging communication and consensus? Organizers are 
  encouraged to focus on mechanisms other than traditional 
  paper presentations and to differentiate themselves clearly 
  from typical conference sessions. 
- Publicity: How do you intend to publicize the workshop? 
  How will you reach the most interested and appropriate 
  participants? 
- Potential participants: Who are potential participants in 
  the workshop? 
- Organizers: Please include the name, postal address, 
  phone number, e-mail address, and webpage of each chair and
