The 1st edition of the e-Society International Conference (ES) was hosted in Lisbon, Portugal, during 3 to 6 June, 2003. This first edition started a series of conferences that aimed to address the main issues of concern within the Information Society. This conference tried to cover both the technical as well as the non-technical aspects of the Information Society. The main tracks for submissions were e-Commerce, e-Learning and e-Government. The e-Society 2003 Conference had about 280 submissions from more than 35 different countries. Each submission had been anonymously reviewed by at least two independent reviewers, to ensure the final high standard of the accepted submissions. Out of the papers submitted, 72 got blind referee ratings that published them as full papers, while some others were published as short papers and posters. The best papers were selected to be published as extended versions in the IADIS International Journal on WWW/Internet and other selected journals. Further to the presentation of full papers, short papers, posters and doctoral consortium presentations, the conference also offered three keynote presentations by Professor Piet Kommers, University of Twente, The Netherlands; Professor José Dias Coelho, New University of Lisbon, Portugal and Professor Ulf Essler, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden. In addition, the participants had the opportunity to listen to a special talk presented by Professor Dr. Masao Johannes Matsumoto, University of Tsukuba, Tokyo, Japan. The e-Society Conference 2003 proceedings were published both in Book (ISBN: 972-98947-0-1) and CD-ROM. Program Committee Members: Derrick L.
