Call For Papers
GECON solicits contributions that are interdisciplinary, combining business and economic aspects with engineering and computerscience related themes. Contributions to this conference can include extensions to existing technologies, successful deployment of technologies, economic analyses, analysis of technology adoption, and theoretical models. We welcome papers that combine micro and macroeconomic principles with resource management strategies in computer science and engineering. Case studies that demonstrate practical use of economic strategies and their benefits (and limitations) are particularly encouraged. The purpose of this event is to gather original work and build a strong multidisciplinary community in this increasingly important area of a future information and knowledge economy.
Topics
- The way IT resources and services are being provisioned is currently in flux. Advances in distributed systems technology have allowed for the provisioning of services on an unprecedented scale and with increasing flexibility. At the same time, business and academia have started to embrace a model wherein thirdparty services that can be acquired with minimal service provider interaction, replace or complement
hose that are managed internally. Organizations have only started to grasp the economic implications of this evolution. - As a global market for infrastructure, platform and software services emerges, the need to understand and deal with these implications is quickly growing. In addition, a multitude of new challenges arise. These are inherently multidisciplinary and relate to aspects such as the operation and structure of the service market,
the alignment of cost, revenue and qualityrelated objectives when taking on a service consumer or provider role, and the creation of innovative business models and value chains. These challenges emerge in other service domains as well, for example in the coordinated operation of the next generation electricity grids that
are characterized by distributed generation facilities and new consumption patterns. - GECON invites researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present and discuss economicsrelated issues and solutions associated with these developments and challenges. Contributed work can comprise extensions to existing technologies, successful deployments of technologies, economic analysis, and theoretical concepts. The purpose of this event is to gather original work and build a strong multidisciplinary community in this increasingly important area of a future information economy.
