Dynamically changing social and economic situations demand next-generation systems based on emerging technologies and applications. Such systems are expected to have the characteristics of living systems composed of largely autonomous and decentralized components. Such systems are called Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ADS). After the successful first, second, third, and fourth International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS) held in 1993 in Japan, in 1995 in the USA , in 1997 in Germany, and in 1999 in Japan, the fifth ISADS will be held in Dallas, Texas, USA during March 26-28, 2001. While ISADS 2001 will primarily focus on advancements and innovation in ADS concept, technologies, and applications related to the increasingly important topic of *Electronic Commerce*, other themes such as telecommunications and heterogeneous system and application integration will also be included. The ISADS 2001 committee invites papers and panel proposals on the topics of the symposium that will foster interactions among researchers and practitioners in computer, communication, management, control as applied to electronic commerce and other related fields from academia, industry, and government. The scope of discussions on ADS shall include, but not be limited to: * Computer and communication architectures / intelligent network /Internet; * Heterogeneous distributed information / control systems; * Mobile agent /computer-supported cooperative works; * Distributed software development and maintenance; * Assurance, fault tolerance and on-line expansion; * Object management architecture /design pattern / application frameworks; * Emergent control and robotic systems; * Novel applications: electronic commerce, telecommunications, information service systems, manufacturing systems, real-time event management, office automation, traffic and transportation control, logistics systems. Plant tour is scheduled on March 29, 2001. Delegates are encour- aged to participate.

EM last focused on Australia and Asia in 1997 and after four years, it is high time we revisited the region. Interest in E-Commerce and Electronic Markets has largely been focused on North America and Europe -- and yet there are many interesting developments happening in the Austral-Asian region, which have received little attention -- we aim to address this. For example, the two major developers of mobile phone networks and applications are Japan's NTT DoCoMo and Hong Kong's Hutchison Whampoa; Singapore is a world leader in integrating E-Commerce into public sector activities. In this issue we will examine at some of the leading-edge E-Business activities that are taking place in the Austral-Asian region. We are calling for articles dealing with the current status of projects, visions and policies related to electronic commerce in Austrial Asia. Possible topics include,but are not limited to: 1. Policy 2. Business Models 3. Organizational Models 4. National and Regional Strategies 5. Challenges & Issues 6. Case Studies: Successes and Failures (lessons learned) 7. Applications 8. E-Commerce Infrastructure 9. Regulation 10. Society / Political affects on e-commerce development EM accepts short papers up to 2500 words, or long papers up to 5000 words. Please refer to the contributors' section at http://www.electronicmarkets.org for templates and specifications. The deadline for submissions is October 10, 2000. Regarding Electronic Markets in general, please contact Brigette Buchet, Executive Editor at em.editors@netacademy.org.

Your organization is invited to explore the possibilities of participating in FlowerFunds. $FlowerFunds is an individualized fund raising program for non-profit organizations and schools. $FlowerFunds are cash rebates that are paid to your organization each and every time an order is placed by your members and supporters. $The best part is that it costs your organization nothing to participate!! How it works: 1. When your members and supporters order flowers or gifts through sendflowersamerica they determine the price they want to pay; be it $30, $40, $50 or $1000. Since your members and supporters determine the price, they all can participate in this program. 2. Your organization receives 20% of the purchase price of the order. Say a husband buys his wife a $50 bouquet. Your organization will receive a $10 cash rebate. Nice. This program never ends. Each and every time there is an order placed by your memebers and supporters, your organization will receive the 20% cash rebate. That's a lot of FlowerFunds, and your organization stands to benefit from a findraiser unlike any other fundraiser.
