Wireless and mobile peer-to-peer technology is becoming the facilitator for new ambient location-based commerce, also frequently referred to as l-commerce. l-commerce is a fusion of mobile commerce and context aware computing. It exploits consumers proximity to marketplaces by electronically extending the stores physical area to cover potential customers before they walk into stores. The virtual expansion of the marketplace has the potential of being a powerful tool for consumers by providing information and services relevant to their current location. Once a customer is inside the store, ambient services can further enhance consumers shopping experiences by providing consumers with recommendations and other helpful product information. Ambient commerce services allow personalization and custom context-sensitive filtering to consumers. The vision of l-commerce is not limited to the traditional business-to-consumer commerce. It also encapsulates mobile peer-to-peer commerce where mobile peers trade and exchange information, services, and other digital goods. l-commerce also includes business-to-business opportunities by allowing small shops to join and form virtual partnerships therefore increasing their presence in the local marketplace. The aim of the workshop is to identify and discuss the technical and business challenges, ideas, views, and research results in ambient and location-based commerce and applications. Location-based Mobile Commerce Workshop (l-Commerce 06) invites authors to submit original technical papers or position papers, describing current research and visions of the future. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: * Middleware and Frameworks Supporting l-commerce. * Ambient Services and Applications. * Data Management, Personalization and User Profiles in l-commerce Environments. * Context Management for l-commerce. * Discovery of Digital Product, Goods and Services in l-commerce Environments. * Mobile Components (Mobile Agents) and Agent Technologies. * Intelligent Graphical User Interface (GUI) for l-commerce. * Mobile, Wireless Peer-to-Peer Commerce. * Challenges of Mobile Portals and Hotspots for l-commerce applications. * Vehicular Mobile Commerce. * Impact of GPS and RFID tracking technology on l-commerce. * Privacy Concerns, Social and Legal Issues affecting l-commerce. * Payment and transaction mechanisms, platforms and solutions. * Innovative Business Models for l-commerce. * Actions, Advertising and Promotions in l-commerce Environments.
