Silicon Fen can rival Silicon Valley. British entrepreneurs can lead the world in exploiting e-commerce. Britain can have more homes connected to the Internet than any other country. But to achieve that goal, we need to work together. British industry needs to be ambitious in responding to the challenge of e-commerce.
British government needs to put in place the right framework and lead by example.
And the British people need to have the confidence and skills to exploit these opportunities. The paper is a very good study on e- commerce. Leading IT firms and selected institutions specializing in IT and e-business research will be cosponsors. The organizers invite researchers and practitioners to submit proposals for Special Sessions as well as Individual Papers for Parallel Sessions . Proposals are due by January 15, 2001.
