M-commerce - Mobile commerce: a new frontier for e-business |
Call for Papers
Mobile commerce involves the use of mobile computing devices in carrying
out different types of economic transactions or enabling them to take
place over space and time. The m-commerce includes use of such
technologies as SMS services over a number of carriers (GSM, IS95, CDMA),
Bluetooth applications, and also the integration of low level digital
carriers to IP based services through WAP. This integration is expected to
be one of the fastest growing markets of E-business and it will involve the
development and design of a host of new applications, services, business
models and technological solutions.
We think the theme is both topical and challenging for HICSS-2001, as the
number of potential mobile terminal users is huge (1 billion users by 2003)
and will be dispersed among various types of consumer categories. This
poses unprecedented problems on the design of services, technologies, and
underlying business models.
The theme covers basic technologies of wireless media for commerce,
potential business models that are embedded and /or facilitated by those
technologies, methods and design approaches to develop m-commerce
applications. These will be illustrated with case studies and experience
reports.

- Technologies and solutions for m-commerce (transaction models, security,
