-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Deadline extension till 7.1.2013 - CfP Workshop Multi-agent Based Applications for Sustainable Energy Systems (MASSES), 11th Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS), Salamanca (Spain), 22nd-24th May, 2013 Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2012 12:12:45 +0100 From: Rainer Unland <rainer.unland(a)icb.uni-due.de> Organization: University Duisburg-Essen To: undisclosed-recipients:; *First Workshop on Multi-agent Based Applications for Sustainable Energy Systems (MASSES) * *as part of* *11th Conference on Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (PAAMS)* *Salamanca (Spain), 22nd-24th May, 2013 * *Important dates* Submission date 7 January Notification date28 January Paper ready deadline25 February Conference dates22-24 May, 2013 *Workshop motivation and topics* After the explicit commitment of many countries to support the installation and management of often small renewable energy production sources the old energy grids need to be upgraded to a much more intelligent and flexible grid, not only for electricity but also for gas and heat. Such so called smart grids most likely need to rely on decentralized control and a highly efficient, fast, flexible and reliable management. This requires smart grids to be capable of autonomously and intelligently configuring themselves to make the most efficient use of available resources, to be robust to all kinds of failures and energy production deviations, and to be extendable and adaptable in the face of rapidly changing technologies and requirements. The distributed nature of these systems, and the autonomous behaviour expected of them, points towards multi-agent systems as a possible foundation for the realisation of the management software for such grids. While a lot has to happen on the energy production and provision level the house of the future as well as the transportation means of the future need to be smoothly integrated in such a smart grid concept as well which means that houses need to be smart as well. Thus, the focus of this workshop is on applications of multi-agent systems technology in smart grids and smart homes. Examples of areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: .Agent-based prediction, adaption and optimization of energy use within homes, buildings, organisations and micro-grids .Multi-agent based simulations of energy grids and markets .Coalition formation strategies for coordinated energy use across multiple consumers, forming virtual power stations, and performing intelligent demand management. .Experiences with MAS-based Smart Grid implementations .Applications of MAS-based Smart Grid technologies .MAS-based real time adaptation of energy networks .MAS-based self-configuration or self-healing of energy systems .MAS-based load modelling and control .MAS-based applications for electrical vehicles .MAS-based control and management of electrical car fleets .Interactions and exchange between networks for electricity, gas and heat .MAS-based smart home (building) applications and services .MAS-based control and management of smart homes .MAS-based control and management of appliances .MAS-based control and management of smart homes .MAS-based commercial and industrial applications for smart homes *Structure of MASSES* MASSE will be a full-day workshop and will include several presentation sessions for the accepted paper as well as invited papers on topics of overall interest in order to kick off intense and lively discussions. It is intended to end the workshop with a panel/discussion round in which the relevant results of the workshop will be discussed. *Review Process* Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 Program Committee members. Selection criteria will include: relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, quality of presentation, practical applicability. Some preference may also be given to papers which address emergent trends or important common themes. In general, papers to be acceptable, must be of substantial relevance for the multi-agent systems research community. *Journal publication of excellent papers* It is intended to invite authors of excellent papers to submit an extended version of their paper to either the IOS Multiagent and Grid Systems journal (MAGS). This journal has a high reputation and is often classified as a B-class journal. If enough high quality papers will be submitted it is planned to publish them as a special issue, otherwise as regular papers; or Springer's Transactions on Computational Collective Intelligence. This new journal focuses on research in applications of the computer-based methods of Computational Collective Intelligence (CCI) and their applications in a wide range of fields such as semantic web, social networks and multi-agent systems. *Workshop organisers/PC Chairs* Giancarlo Fortino, University of Calabria, Italy Ryszard Kowalczyk, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Rainer Unland (primary contact), University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany, Rainer.Unland at icb.uni-due.de *Program Committee* Alexander Pokahr, University of Hamburg, Germany Andreas Symeonidis, University of Thessaloniki, Greece Anke Weidlich, Hochschule Offenburg, Germany Bao Vo, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia Benjamin Hirsch, EBTIC, UAE Bernhard Bauer, Universität Augsburg, Germany Bo Nørregaard Jørgensen, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Instituttet <http://www.sdu.dk/Om_SDU/Institutter_centre/Mmmi_maersk_mckinney_moeller.as…>, Denmark Christian Derksen, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Christoph Weber, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany Costin Ba(dica(, University of Craiova, Craiova, Romania Cristina Baroglio, Universita' degli Studi di Torino, Italy David Sislak, Gerstner Laboratory, Czech Republic Dmitry Zhdanov, University of Connecticut, USA Fabrice Saffre, Etisalat BT Innovation Centre, UAE Frank Allgöwer, Universität Stuttgart, Germany Georg Frey, Universität des Saarlandes, Germany Hanno Hildmann, Khalifa University, UAE Huaglory Tianfield, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK Huib Aldewereld, Universiteit Utrecht, The Netherlands Ingo J.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] CALL FOR PAPERS - Green-IS for Sustainability in Inter-Organizational Networks at AMCIS 2013 Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2012 05:05:43 +0000 From: Kranz, Johann <jkranz(a)uni-goettingen.de> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ *CALL FOR PAPERS - Green-IS for Sustainability in Inter-Organizational Networks at AMCIS 2013 * *Track:* Green IS and Sustainability *Mini-Track: * Green-IS for Sustainability in Inter-Organizational Networks *Mini-Track Co-Chairs:* Matthias Schumann Georg-August-University Goettingen, Germany mschuma1(a)uni-goettingen.de <mailto:mschuma1@uni-goettingen.de> Stefan Seidel University of Liechtenstein stefan.seidel(a)uni.li <mailto:stefan.seidel@uni.li> Johann Kranz Georg-August-University Goettingen, Germany jkranz(a)uni-goettingen.de <mailto:jkranz@uni-goettingen.de> *DESCRIPTION:* Among scholars and practitioners alike issues related to corporate sustainability have become increasingly important due to global warming, environmental degradation, and the scarcity of (fossil) resources. In making business practices more sustainable, information system (IS) enhanced solutions, typically referred to Green IS, are expected to play an essential role (Watson et al. 2011). The effects of Green IS can be (1) direct, e.g. due to more efficient usage of IS/IT-resources (2) indirect, e.g., due to more sustainable business processes, or (3) systemic, for instance, causing behavioral changes of employees. While many studies focus on single organizations, to date only little research has been conducted regarding the adoption, usage, and design of Green IS in inter-organizational networks. Supporting sustainable business practices within and across organizations requires a research agenda that investigates topics such as inter-organizational sustainability governance, sustainable supply chain management, product life cycle accounting, recycling, carbon management accounting, or energetic and non-energetic resource consumption across value chains. The IS community is thus challenged to contribute to our understanding of how IS can foster sustainability in complex inter-organizational networks while simultaneously considering economic imperatives. We invite contributions that explore the range of technical, organizational, economic, and social perspectives on Green IS for sustainability in inter-organizational networks from diverse perspectives which include -- but are not limited to -- the field of business information systems, management, machine learning, operations research, and computer science as well as contributions from practitioners which provide business experiences. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Adoption and usage of Green IS in corporate and inter-organizational networks * IS for inter-organizational sustainability governance * Green IS and their integration in corporate enterprise information systems * IS for green supply chain management * Resource efficiency in supply chains (e.g., smart logistics) * Adoption and usage of environmental management information systems in corporate and inter-organizational networks * IS for environmental data collection * IS for sustainability reporting * Product lifecycle management and analysis in inter-organizational networks (e.g., reuse,recycling, remanufacturing,energetic and non-energetic consumption of resources) * Product carbon footprints in inter-organizational networks * IS for carbon management accounting in inter-organizational networks * Use, effect, and design of technologies such as cloud computing and virtualization that improve the greening of organizations * Understanding Green IT practices and its strategic benefits for organizations * Adoption and effects of sustainable business practices * Drivers for greening in organizations * Measuring sustainability in management accounting and process performance measurement *See also:*http://amcis2013.aisnet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article…

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] Contents of JIPS Volume 7, Issue 3 Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:21:58 -0700 From: Bagchi, Kallol <kbagchi(a)utep.edu> To: 'aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org' <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CONTENTS OF VOLUME 7, ISSUE 3, OF THE JOURNAL OF INFORMATION PRIVACY AND SECURITY (JIPS). http://jips.utep.edu/ Publisher: Ivy League Publishing, http://www.ivylp.com, email: admin(a)ivylp.com <mailto:admin@ivylp.com> CONTENTS OF THIS ISSUE OF JIPS: EDITORIAL PREFACE: SECURITY RESEARCH IN RFID, END-USER ENVIRONMENTS AND KEY TOPICS AND TRENDS PASSIVE ENUMERATION OF SECRET INFORMATION IN LMAP AND M2AP RFID AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOLS, Selwyn Piramuthu, RFID European Lab, Paris, France & Information Systems and Operations Management University of Florida, selwyn(a)ufl.edu <mailto:selwyn@ufl.edu> . As RFID tags gain popularity for everyday use, issues related to privacy and security of RFID-tagged objects become important. However, the memory and processing power constraints in low-cost RFID tags make securing these tags difficult, if not impossible. Light- weight protocols have been proposed to address this issue. Li and Wang (2007) report security vulnerabilities in two recently proposed ultra-lightweight RFID mutual authentication protocols - LMAP and M2AP. Fairly similar in structure, these two protocols use among other things, sum mod m operations. We use m as 2 in sum mod m operation which is realistic in low-cost tags and, using a passive observer adversary, enumerate the entire set of secret information in two consecutive rounds of authentication. A MODEL OF END USERS' WEB THREATS INFORMATION PROCESSING, Lixuan Zhang, Augusta State University -- Augusta, _gzhang(a)aug.edu <mailto:gzhang@aug.edu>_ and Clinton Amos, Augusta State University- Augusta, _clamos(a)aug.edu <mailto:clamos@aug.edu>_ Many threats have appeared with an increasingly sophisticated web platform. To cope with these threats, end users have to gather and process relevant information. There are two modes of information processing: systematic processing and heuristic processing. Using the heuristic-systematic model, the study shows the influence of involvement and information insufficiency on the processing mode. The study finds that high involvement is positively related to systematic processing, while low involvement is negatively related to heuristic processing. Information insufficiency has a significant negative relationship with heuristic processing but no significant relationship is found between information insufficiency and systematic processing. The study also shows that systematic processing has a positive relationship with the intention of following recommended protective actions while heuristic processing has a negative relationship with this intention. The results shed light on the role of processing mode related to web threat information. ANALYZING INFORMATION SYSTEMS SECURITY RESEARCH TO FIND KEY TOPICS, TRENDS, AND OPPORTUNITIES, Roger Blake, University of Massachusetts -- Boston, roger.blake(a)umb.edu <mailto:roger.blake@umb.edu> and Ramakrishna Ayyagari, University of Massachusetts -- Boston, r.ayyagari(a)umb.edu <mailto:r.ayyagari@umb.edu> What are the key topics for Information Systems (IS) security researchers? How have these topics been changing, and what topics are emerging to offer new opportunities for research? We address these questions by analyzing the abstracts of 261 articles focusing on IS security that have appeared in leading IS journals and journals devoted to this area. Using Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) to analyze the text of these abstracts uncovers five primary research topics: Security Design & Management, Business Operations Security, Behavioral Aspects, Authentication & Integrity Controls, and Prevention & Detection. These five primary topics are aggregates of more granular topics that are utilized to find trends to understand the changing complexion of IS security research. Our study contributes by developing the key topics and their trends in this area using an analytical and replicable method to synthesize the existing research.

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [computational.science] MONET SI on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks -- LAST CALL Datum: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 21:36:10 +0100 Von: Gregorio Martinez <gregorio(a)um.es> Organisation: "ICCSA" An: Computational Science Mailing List <computational.science(a)lists.iccsa.org> ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET) Journal http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 (2011 Impact Factor: 0.838 -- 5-Year Impact Factor: 1.494) Special Issue on Developments in Security and Privacy-preserving mechanisms for Future Mobile Communication Networks The advances in wireless communication technologies toward 4G networks and the wide use of mobile devices have enabled users to communicate with each other and receive a wide range of mobile wireless services through various types of access networks and systems everywhere, anytime. However, the always-connected mobile device usage model brings to the foreground new security and privacy issues for both the end-user and network/service provider. For example, such a multi-domain and heterogeneous environment poses serious threats to the end-user who has contract with and trusts only a limited number of operators and service providers. In this respect, secure, reliable, and privacy-preserving communications combined with constant network availability are essential factors for the adoption of any service or application that utilize wireless technologies. Also, the tight-coupling of these wireless network domains to the Internet make them more susceptible to attacks. New security challenges emerge constantly due to the open nature of the wireless medium, the dynamic network topology, the lack of common security/privacy policy used by network operators, the resource constraints of the mobile devices and, in some cases, the lack of a pre-deployed infrastructure. The objective of this special issue is to foster state-of-the-art contributions in the area of security, privacy, and its applications for future mobile communication networks. In particular, our focus will be on network layer security with the intention to address all aspects of the modeling, designing, implementation, assessment, deployment and management of mobile network security and privacy-preserving mechanisms, protocols and architectures. We encourage original and high quality contributions to the evaluation, enhancement of security and privacy-preserving mechanisms for current mobile technologies as well as novel proposals for efficient security and privacy solutions of emerging mobile and wireless technologies. Possible topics include but are not limited to: - Lightweight Security Infrastructure - IMS security and privacy issues - Privacy and anonymity - Intrusion detection and avoidance - Modularized security architectures and implementations - Threat and vulnerability modeling - Lightweight AAA infrastructures - Privacy and Security Compliance - Security issues related to mobility in heterogeneous networks - Security of mesh networks - Trust establishment, negotiation, and management - Secure Multicast/Broadcast Service - Lightweight cryptography - Cross Layer approach to security - Key agreement, distribution and management - Trusted Platform Modules - Access control management systems - Privacy-preserving location-based services - Secure social networking for mobile devices - Biometric solutions for mobile devices - Security and privacy for QR codes - Reputation management models - Secure mobile ecosystems - Formal security verification methods All received submissions will be sent out for peer review by at least two experts in the field and evaluated with respect to relevance to the special issue, level of innovation, depth of contributions, and quality of presentation. Guest editors will make an initial determination of the suitability and scope of all submissions. Papers that either lack originality, clarity in presentation or fall outside the scope of the special issue will not be sent for review and the authors will be promptly informed in such cases. Submitted papers must not be under consideration by any other journal or publication. Schedule: Manuscript submission deadline: Dec. 23, 2012 (Extended) Authors to receive a 1st decision by: Mar. 15, 2013 Final notification of acceptance: June 30, 2013 Publication of special issue: (Subject to MONET Schedule) Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the instructions to authors available at the journal's homepage http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036 - kindly click the "Instruction for Authors" in the box on the right side.

18 Dec '12

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] Call for Papers dg.o 2013 Datum: Tue, 18 Dec 2012 08:53:41 +0000 Von: Vishanth Weerakkody <Vishanth.Weerakkody(a)brunel.ac.uk> An: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> CALL PAPERS: dg.o 2013 14th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research >From e-Government to Smart Government Laval University, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada Monday - Thursday, June 17-20, 2013 Submission deadline- February 1st, 2013 Home page: http://dgo2013.dgsna.org General inquiries: dgo2013(a)easychair.org Twitter: DGSociety, #dgo2013 Paper submissions: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dgo2013 The Digital Government Society (DGS) announces the 14th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research - dg.o 2013. The dg.o conferences are an established forum for presentation, discussion, and demonstration of interdisciplinary e-Government research, technology innovation, applications, and practice. Each year the conference combines: * Presentations of effective partnerships and collaborations among government professionals and agencies, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs, as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of e-Government. * Presentations and discussions on new research on e-Government as an interdisciplinary domain that lies at the intersections of information technology research, social and behavioural science research, and the challenges and missions of government. * A showcase of e-Government projects, implementations, and initiatives that bring together the research and practitioner communities, demonstrate the effectiveness and/or challenges of e-Government, and offer best practices. Governments today face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. New technologies provide governments with the opportunity to redefine the relationship between government and the public that they serve, create innovative and customer-focused services, encourage transparency, promote participatory democracy, facilitate the co-design of services, form new partnerships in service delivery, streamline operations and reduce costs, and build trust in government. But harnessing and implementing technologies effectively raises a number of policy, technology, and governance challenges. This year, the conference program will focus on research and practice related to the adoption of smart technologies by governments, citizens as well as private and non-profit organizations. More and more, the adoption of smart technologies by individuals and organizations is opening new opportunities for creating public-private partnerships to improve current government services as well as to create new, innovative ones. Submissions addressing this theme could include but are not limited to: smart technologies for governments, semantic technologies for e-government, web services applications, open and transparent government; social media and public participation; effective use of social media by governments; crowd sourcing for government decision making; transformative government; models of collaboration among government, industry, NGOs, and citizens; data integration, visualizations, and analytics for government decision making; agile and flexible government; financial/economic/social policy making; policy and governance issues that enable, facilitate, and promote smart government; government productivity and effectiveness; service quality and customer-centric e-Government; social and health infrastructure; global government collaboration models and practices; infrastructure for data sharing among government agencies; computing infrastructure models, cyber-security and project management; IT-enabled government management and operations, and interest in program execution; IT and tools to support government security; and methods to measure and evaluate success in e-Government. In addition, we welcome submissions from the broader domain of digital government research. We invite completed research papers, papers describing management and practice, policy and case studies, on-going research posters, and live demonstrations that demonstrate the use of technology to promote innovative e-Government services. We particularly encourage submissions on interdisciplinary and crosscutting topics. We also encourage the submission of suggestions for panels, and pre-conference tutorials and workshops. Accepted papers are published in the ACM Proceedings Digital Library, and selected papers will appear in leading journals such as Government Information Quarterly and Information Polity. The conference has six thematic tracks, which accept full research papers as well as management case studies and policy papers (see below for paper submission types), and one track for panel proposals. Each track has two co-chairs who are responsible for managing the submission and review process for their track. The conference also accepts work in progress and short descriptions of applications on any topic. We also welcome proposals for workshops and tutorials, which can be submitted directly to the Easychair system. Feel free to get in contact with any track chairs for guidance. Track 1. Social Media and Government Track chairs: Rodrigo Sandoval and Andrea Kavanaugh Social media use in public administration has been growing rapidly around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 many governments and public officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, with other organizations and with their constituents. This growing use has created new challenges for government users (e.g., regulations, policies), and an overwhelming increase in messages and other communications from citizens that are difficult to accommodate. These outcomes have started changing government interaction among their own personnel and with citizens and other agencies. Track 2. Transformation and Open Government Track chair: Marijn Janssen, Natalie Helbig and Vishanth Weerakkody Many governments are working toward a vision of government-wide transformation that strives to achieve an open, transparent, accountable government while providing demand-driven services.. To be successful in this vision fundamental changes are necessary in practice and new research that examines governments as open systems seeking participation and interaction with their environment is needed. The track solicits papers addressing the issue of public sector transformation between government and the environment. Track 3. Emerging Topics Track chairs: John C. Bertot, Paul Jaeger and Chris Reddick Digital government, both as an academic discipline and in practice, continues to evolve. As new technologies, big data applications, policies, and management practices develop; governments seek ways in which to provide innovative, smart, and transformational government services. The Emerging Topics track seeks submissions that provide insights into emerging digital government research and practice. Track 4. Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts Track chair: Chris Hinnant and Theresa A. Pardo Over the past decade, many public organizations have adopted information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders such as residents, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and other government agencies. While recent digital government research has often focused on understanding the external impacts of ICT adoption by government, the adoption and implementation of new ICT by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, technological knowledge, and personnel), managerial leadership, and the organization's technological culture. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation of new ICT as well as the impact of new ICT on the organizational processes, effectiveness, and innovativeness of public organizations. Track 5. Smart Government Technologies Track chair: Soon Ae Chun, Tomasz Janowski Smart government is achieved through innovation, transformation and re-structuring in policies, strategies, and technologies to create improved public sector process efficiency and service integration and delivery, and to support better decision making and collaboration with the public. Intelligent systems, new platforms for communication and collaboration, data collection, sharing and analytics, shared services, sensors and ubiquitous computing are all the key ingredients to transform the government that benefit the public and business, and to improve the quality of life. This track aims to facilitate theoretical and practical discussions on approaches towards smart government, smart cities, smart community, and smart citizens by technology and policy innovations in the area of energy, transport, health, public safety, buildings, urban planning, environment, business and others. Track 6. Smart Cities and Smart Work Track Chairs: Jungwoo Lee and J. Ramon Gil-Garcia World population is increasingly concentrating in cities. People work and live in and around cities and information technologies have transformed their lives as well as the public and private services being provided to them. Therefore, smart cities and smart work could be considered highly interrelated and, actually, two sides of the same coin. City administrators are facing daunting tasks in order to accommodate emerging characteristics of urban life and promote better quality of life and improved work life balance, while enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of administrative services. This track invites theoretical and empirical papers concerning smart cities and smart work. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the followings: smart city services, ICT driven city development, cooperative policy development, participative governance, novel service typologies of smart ubiquitous cities, community forums for service development, spaces and mediated presence, smart work centers, telecommuting, flextime, mobile work, quality of city life, work life balance, urban mobile learning, creative cooperatives, skill changes of labor force, and urban human capital management. Track 7. Panels Track chair: Teresa Harrison, Jana Hrdinova Panel proposals may address themes or topics related to any of the tracks for the conference. Additionally, we welcome panel proposals that put a spotlight on practice and application. Proposals from practitioners at all levels of government featuring experiences with, perspectives on, and evaluations of digital government practice are encouraged. Individuals interested in submitting panel proposals are invited to consult the panel co-chairs about their ideas prior to developing their submissions.

At least one author for each accepted paper must register before the camera ready version is due in order for it to be included in the proceedings. Submissions are through: http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dgo2013 Research papers (maximum 10 pages) - blind review These submissions report innovative digital government research results in the form of a formal scholarly paper. Papers on any digital government topic and all research methodologies are welcome. Relevance to digital government problems, goals, or policies must be explicit. Management, case study, or policy papers (maximum 6 pages) - blind review These submissions describe and evaluate practical digital government projects or initiatives, discuss major policy themes, or present and evaluate management approaches to digital government initiatives and programs. Panels (maximum 4 pages) Proposals should include information about the theme and goals of the panel, a summary of the digital government issues or questions that the panel will address, statements about the value of the discussion to conference attendees and how well suited the topic is to a panel discussion. In addition, the proposal should include information about the expertise of the moderator and panelists in the selected issues. Please include names, institutional affiliations, addresses, email, and phone contact numbers of the contact person, moderator, and presenter(s). Posters (maximum of 2 pages) The poster session, held in conjunction with the system demonstrations, allows presenters to discuss research in progress, application projects, or government policies and program initiatives in one-to-one conversations with other participants at the conference. The 2-page summaries should outline the nature of the research, policy, or project and describe why the work will be of interest to dg.o attendees. Posters prepared for the conference should measure approximately 36" x 48." Each poster station is provided with a table and an easel. Selected poster submissions may be asked to give an oral presentation in the conference sessions. System Demonstrations (maximum 2 pages) System demonstrations are held concurrently with the poster session to the accompaniment of good food and professional fellowship. The 2-page summaries should outline the nature of the system and describe why the demonstration is likely to be of interest to dg.o attendees. Demonstrations of interest include systems under development or in active use in research or practice domains. Submissions should include authors' names and contact information according to that format. Each station is provided with a table, an easel, and Internet access. Monitors will be available for rent. Selected demo submissions may be asked to give an oral presentation in the conference sessions. Pre-conference Tutorials (maximum 2 pages) dg.o tutorials are half- or full-day presentations that offer deeper insight into e-Government research, practice, research methodologies, technologies or field experience. In particular, tutorials are intended to provide insights into good practices, research strategies, uses of particular technologies such as social media, and other insights into e-Government that would benefit researchers and practitioners. Pre-conference Research or Management Workshops (maximum 2 pages) We invite workshop proposals on any e-Government research or management topic. Workshops are half- or full-day events intended to offer interactive sessions, in which the workshop host and participants discuss and engage in activities designed to facilitate joint learning and further exploration of a particular subject. Individuals proposing workshops will assume the responsibility of identifying and selecting participants for the workshop and for conducting workshop activities. Doctoral Colloquium (maximum 10 pages, not including references, tables and figures) The Doctoral Colloquium is a highly interactive full-day forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and with senior faculty from a variety of disciplines associated with digital government research. The colloquium is planned for Monday June 17, 2013. PhD students can submit papers describing their planned or in-progress doctoral dissertation covering any research areas relevant to digital government. Ideally, student participants will have completed one or two years of doctoral study or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and perhaps some preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect students at this stage of study will gain the most value from feedback on their work and from the more general discussions of doctoral programs and scholarly careers. See the detailed announcement for complete information on the colloquium and how to submit an application. Material provided in applications to the doctoral colloquium will not be published in the proceedings. However, we encourage students to submit finished research to one of the paper tracks or as a poster or demo. OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS * All accepted management or policy papers, research papers, student papers, panels, posters, and system demonstrations will be published in the printed proceedings and included in the ACM digital library. Selected papers may be invited for a journal special issue. * Outstanding achievement awards will be presented in the categories Research papers, Management and policy papers, Posters, and System demonstrations. Papers that reflect the theme of the conference, form E-Government to Smart Government, will be preferred. Other selection criteria include the interdisciplinary and innovative nature of the work, its contribution to and balance between theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), the importance and reach of the topic, and the quality of the writing for communicating to a broad audience.
