ICEC has been one of the first and premier information systems conferences specializing on electronic commerce issues since 1998. It has offered a great venue for researchers to exchange research findings on the latest development in the electronic commerce field, and to foster regional and international collaboration within the community.
During the past 20 years, we have observed the world changing to the "connected world". Stores and customers are connected through electronic commerce, and people are globally connected through social media, messengers, and online communities. Government and its citizens do not only handle civil affairs, but also exchange opinions through electronic government services and free bulletin boards online.
Yes, here comes everybody! Through so-called "O2O (online to offline)" or "on-demand economy" services, various offline services such as calling a taxi, searching for accommodations, using chauffeur services, laundry services, food delivery services, beauty services, etc. are connected to create new experiences and a new market, innovating the preexistent industry. These changes are evidence to how the world has transformed to the "connected world" throughout the past 20 years by the Internet and smart devices.
For the next 20 years, we will see the "smart connected world" phenomenon in which smart technologies and connected technologies combine to change the world. Manual driving will evolve to autonomous self-driving for human safety and convenience. Internet of Things (IoT) and O2O services combine to create smart hospitals and smart homes, respectively. We can define the "smart connected world" as a world in which each object will become smart and inter-connected.
