IFIP e-government conference

EGOV 2013 conference - 16/19 September 2013 - Koblenz, Germany

More information : http://www.egov-conference.org/egov-2013

The annual international IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV) conference is the European core conference in the domain of ICT in the public sector. Each year, scholars from all over the globe present the state of the art and most recent innovations in e-government, e-governance and related fields of study. The IFIP conference is organized by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. Since its beginnings in 2001, the EGOV conference has provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study.

The IFIP e-government conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Together with ePart, the sister conference on electronic participation, the IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences have attracted around 150 participants on average per year from all continents including developing countries.

E-government research demonstrates its relevance to practice and, consequently, influences and shapes government strategies and implementations. Conversely, e-government practice also inspires e-government research. A wide range of topics has received scholarly attention. In recent years, the assessment and evaluation of e-government projects, the foundations of e-government as a research discipline, integration and interoperation in government, transformation, organizational change, citizens at the center, open data, adoption and diffusion, open government, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics in IFIP EGOV’s papers, workshops and panels.

For the 12th IFIP e-government conference we seek contributions that include but are not limited to:

Foundations of e-government, open government and e-governance research

Future directions in research and practice of ICT in the public sector

Ongoing research and innovative projects (max 8 pages, published in Proceedings of German Society of Informatics (GI) series LNI – Lecture Notes in Informatics)

Posters (max 2 pages in GI LNI format), to be exposed along the welcome reception on Tuesday evening

Workshops and panels on pertinent issues, short abstracts (1-2 pages) to be included in the GI LNI proceedings

PhD colloquium submission – in cooperation with eGovPoliNet

These formats encourage both, scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art, as well as innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects along with papers on system implementations. Prior to the conference (Sunday September 15), a PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration. This year’s colloquium will be supported by eGovPoliNet (The Policy Modelling Community) and, besides the traditional topics, will also encourage PhD thesis projects in ICT for governance and public policy development. More details about the submission guidelines and review criteria can be found here. Information regarding the deadlines of submission are provided under this link. Submit your contribution via the conference management system accessible here.

The IFIP e-government conference will be co-located with IFIP ePart, the fifth International Conference on electronic participation (IFIP ePart), which will be dedicated to topics on e-participation and e-democracy. IFIP ePart will take place slightly overlapping with the IFIP e-government conference at the same venue. Participants registering for one conference can also attend the other conference.
