CollECTeR (Collaborative
Electronic Commerce
Technology and Research)
is a joint venture undertaken by universities around the world which, through a
loose federation of research centres - one located at each institution -
provides both depth and breadth of expertise in Electronic Commerce.
CollECTeR had its genesis in a workshop (PAWEC'97)
held as part of the Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS'97)
held in Brisbane, Australia in 1997 and has grown significantly since that time.
CollECTeR members are now running workshops around the world – we have had three
CollECTeR Europe, two CollECTeR LatAm and one CollECTeR USA Workshops, in
addition to the annual Australian conference – and these will continue. In
addition to the opportunity the workshops provide for small, focused workshops
designed for E-Business and E-Commerce specialist researchers and research
students, the various CollECTeR research centres, both individually and as a
group, also engage in research projects and consultancy.
One of the most important benefits of the CollECTeR web site is the access it
provides to archived copies of the Workshop Proceedings. This resource is freely
available for researchers and students around the world – and is archived by the
Australian National Library as part of the
PANDORA
(Australia’s Web Archive) project – a major collection of Australian online
publications.
The following pages provide information about CollECTeR members and their
centres, about CollECTeR workshops – both past and future – and direct access to
the proceedings of the various CollECTeR workshops. If your university is
interested in becoming a member of CollECTeR, please contact us. We hope you will find these pages useful and appealing – and we
are always interested in your feedback. Please do let us know if you have any
suggestions relating to this site.
