Topics of Interest
===================
As a global market for infrastructures, platforms, and
software services emerge, the need to understand and deal with
its implications and its interdisciplinary challenges is
quickly growing. To address this, GECON encourages the
submission of papers, which combine at least one
economic/legal area and one technologic area. GECON list of
areas includes but is not limited to:
-Economics-
Trustworthiness of services
Ecosystem economics
Incentive design, strategic behaviour & game theory
Market mechanisms, auctions models, and bidding languages
Economic efficiency
Techno-economic analysis and modelling
Pricing schemes and revenue models
Preemptible computing
Metering, accounting, and billing
Cost-benefit analysis
Automated trading and bidding support tools
Trust, reputation, security, and risk management
Performance monitoring, optimization, and prediction
Economics of Open Data
Trustworthiness and Assurances for Quality of Data
Economic impact of distributed storage solutions
Energy efficiency
Sustainability
Business models and strategies
Decision support

=================================================
Publication and Submission Guidelines for Papers
=================================================
Original full papers and short papers (work-in-progress papers),
which are not currently under review by another conference, will
be considered. Manuscripts will be reviewed based on technical
merit, originality, and relevance. Past acceptance rates have
been around 30 per cent in recent years.
Full papers and short papers (work-in-progress papers) shall be
submitted using the Springer LNCS format. Submitted full papers
should not exceed 12 pages and WIP papers should not exceed 8
pages (including references and appendices). For further
details, visit the GECON 2024 web page.
Paper submissions are managed through EasyChair at
https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gecon2024__;!!G_uCfscf7eWS!Z81Jnz_oWSQolMcePxgVnLOhSjPJ1sOMAa5Fu323ABwv7NkREzk_bVAe7dAr_2GEJhsfMDO_1DqJIezPZLTl-I_3$ .
The proceedings will be published by Springer LNCS.
Extended versions of up to 10 accepted papers in the Computer
Science field will be invited for publication in a special
issue of the
- Elsevier Journal of Future Generation Computing Systems (FGCS).
In order to build a stronger interdisciplinary community combining
business and economic aspects with engineering and computer science related
themes, FGCS and GECON nicely coordinate the effort. Soon, a CFP for a
special issue on the Economics of Computing Services in FGCS will be
published. The best papers of GECON will be invited to submit an improved
version to the FGCS SI. Submitting a full paper to GECON authors can
obtain feedback to publish a paper in this special issue.
For papers targeting mainly business and economic aspects, a
special issue of the
- Springer Electronic Markets Journal or the
- Elsevier Electronic Commerce Research and Applications
- Springer Electronic Commerce Research
with up to 15 papers is foreseen.
==========================================================
Submission Guidelines for Special Topic Session Proposals
==========================================================
GECON 2024 looks for proposals for special topic sessions. With
the objective of encouraging alternative forms of participation
that can increase the opportunity to discuss technical topics
and new ideas in a round table atmosphere, we solicit special
topic proposals.
The special topic sessions program seeks to provide venues for
specialist groups to meet, to generate focused discussion on
specific sub-areas within the economics of distributed systems,
and to engage in community-building activities. Special sessions
should provide a discussion forum for researchers in topics
related to topics of the conference, either on specific research
themes, or in emerging areas of research.
Special topic sessions can be used, for example, for giving the
opportunity to all participants to present intermediate/final
results of projects, finding partners to establish collaborative
research and innovation projects.
Special topic session proposals should describe briefly
objectives or purpose, importance of the topic, and strategies
to facilitate participation in the discussion.
The Special Topic session participants can write a joined
paper or submit individual papers for the conference proceedings.
=============================================
Submission Guidelines for Tutorial Proposals
=============================================
GECON 2024 looks for tutorial proposals on topics related to the
conference topics. The tutorials are supposed to give
PhD students an overview about existing concepts, challenges, and
future research directions.
Tutorial proposals should provide a title, an abstract, and a
table of content.
===================
/Poster Submissions/
===================
Poster presentations provide a unique opportunity for PhD
students and young researchers to present their ongoing work and
to receive constructive feedback from their peers as well as
experts in the field (including academics and practitioners) at
the GECON conference.
Authors of accepted full papers and short papers
(work-in-progress papers) are also welcome to present their work
in poster sessions, giving them a higher visibility then just giving a talk.
