-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] 2nd CFP: IFIP Joint Working Conference 2020, Hyderabad (India), 10-11 Dec. 2020 Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2019 22:51:36 +0530 From: Divya Sharma <divya.sharma(a)iimrohtak.ac.in> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org *The future of digital work: the challenge of inequality* Second call for papers for Joint Conference of IFIP Working Groups: 8.2 Information Systems and Organization 9.1 ICT and Work 9.4 Social Implications of Computers in Developing Countries Hyderabad, India, December 10. – 11. 2020 Keynote speakers: *Renana Jhabvala*, social activist associated with the Self-Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) *Michael Barrett*, Professor from U. of Cambridge, UK with a long-standing interest in digital work and innovation Program chairs: Rajendra Bandi, Eric Monteiro, Ranjini Raghavendra Digital technologies, so much more than mere ‘tools,’ seep into and shape our everyday lives in unprecedented, hence uncharted, manners. Digitalisation is both an enabler and multiplier for far-reaching transformation of private and professional lives, at individual, community, organizational, industry-wide and societal levels. However, digital transformation also raises challenges of better or worse quality of life and work, social inclusion/exclusion, (non)discrimination, (un)employment, and civic (non)participation. Digitalisation plays a key role in the way we live our lives and is transforming what it means to work. From new ways of restructuring existing work including an increasing ability to work from virtually anywhere, to collaborating across geographical regions. At the same time, job-matching sites are changing and expanding the way individuals look for work and how companies identify and recruit talent. Independent workers are increasingly choosing to offer their services on digital platforms challenging conventional ideas about how and where work is undertaken. Advances in robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning are ushering a new age of digitalisation and automation as machines match or outperform human performance in a range of work activities, including ones requiring cognitive capabilities. Digitalization will have far-reaching impact on the global workforce involving independent contractors, freelance gig workers, fissured work and outsourced services. The changing nature of work through digital platforms is leading to new ways of control, coordination and collaboration within and between organisations and individual workers. The changes will not only challenge the existing work models, but also influence wages, income and skills. Major transitions lie ahead and could lead to income polarisation and inequality. Technology hubs and online work centres tend to be located in urban areas and operate in English, encouraging investment by policy makers in infrastructure such as roads and transport while neglecting to support the more traditional sectors such as agriculture or artisanal industry in rural areas. This implies digitalization is deeply implicated in the changes required to address our global challenges such as the United Nations Millennium Development Goals for health, education, wellbeing and security or as put by Thomas Piketty (2014),* the challenges of inequality*. The notion of the ‘digital divide’ between the global South and North, while much discussed in academic and policy literature raises numerous issues as a result of the changing nature of work (Allen 2017; Avgerou and Walsham 2017; Roberts et al. 2014). Differences in opportunities are presented to individuals, communities, or organisations by technologies, mainly as a consequence of deficits in access to the technologies, capacity to use them, relevant contextual content and appropriate application. How then does inclusion into the digital economy operate? Inclusion is not just a mirror image of exclusion, and that to achieve inclusion, it is not sufficient to curb exclusion mechanisms, but to enhance positive measures of inclusion. As Herbst (1974) put it to underscore the social significance of work, “the product of work is men”. However, participation in work-life is highly varied across a number of dimensions including gender, developed vs developing regions, temporal vs permanent employment, migrant workers, entrepreneurship opportunities. The dichotomy between online and ‘real’ life is dismantling, making our online behaviour embedded into rather outside of our everyday lives (Faraj et al. 2011). Digital online platforms are vehicles for community building and sharing, for instance in the form of open source or crowdsourcing. Simultaneously, the traces we willingly if not always consciously leave of our online lives is the source of tech companies’ harvesting of behaviour data for their own commercial purposes (Zuboff 2019). The IFIP Working Groups 8.2, 9.1 and 9.4 have a long history of supplementing the dominant technology-push accounts of digitalization with socially informed ones. This joint conference brings together these three groups for the much-needed analysis of the social pre-conditions, engagement and consequences of digitalization visibility. With increasingly vocal proclamations of the consequences of digitalisation, there is a need for socially informed analysis of the uptake of digitalisation for work and everyday life in the manner traditionally promoted by all three of the IFIP working groups. The conference seeks to stimulate and encourage critical discussion of potential shifts in the changing world of work, organisations and its implications in the developing world. The venue for the joint IFIP conference is Hyderabad, India. Hyderabad and Bangalore are key manifestations of the ongoing struggle of the Global South to tap into, not to say drive, the new digital economy. The conference will facilitate a reflection and discussion about the experiences with India’s efforts so far. With a population exceeding 1.2 billion, India is important in itself but even more so as an early and ambitious example of engaging in the value generation of the digital economy. For the joint IFIP WG 8.2, 9.1 and 9.4 conference in 2020 we are seeking rigorous and relevant empirical (qualitative and quantitative) studies as well as conceptual and theoretical papers apprising digitalisation in terms of the future of work, organizing and development. We solicit full research papers with maximum length of 8000 words. The submission site will open in early March and close on May 27, 2020. Notification about acceptance will be sent on July 30. The accepted full papers will be included in the proceedings. We also solicit research-in-progress papers in the form of extended abstracts, with maximum length of 2000 words plus references. The submission deadline for these is September 10, with notification of acceptance a month later. These papers will be worked on in thematically grouped Paper Development Sessions and they will not appear in the proceedings. If coming from a developing country as classified by the United Nations, authors with accepted papers can apply for travel grants. *Important dates*: December 9, 2019 Second call for papers distributed May 27, 2020 Deadline for submitting full papers July 30, 2020 Notification of accepted full papers September 10, 2020 Deadline for submitting research-in progress papers October 20, 2020 Notification of accepted research-in-progress papers December 10 – 11, 2020 Conference in Hyderabad, India *References:* Allen, J.P.

It also provides opportunities to interact with experts or peers to facilitate learning. Virtual environments provide platforms for individuals to collaborate and acquire information in a variety of domains. These environments present new channels to educate others on various topics, as well as learn about a particular domain from others’ knowledge and experiences. Organizations are utilizing virtual collaborations to support knowledge sharing with existing and potential customers, stakeholders, partners, and employees. However, concerns, such as privacy-related issues and performance issues of virtual collaborations, also arise with virtual environments. Hence, this minitrack seeks to explore the opportunities as well as the issues associated with virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning. We encourage paper submissions that study the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts from a variety of perspectives (e.g., individual, organizational, and international). We welcome papers that study the application of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning as well as challenge such applications. This minitrack is open to both theoretical and empirical studies, and is open to all research methods (e.g., survey, field study, case study, experimentation). Potential topics may include (but are not limited to): * Development of frameworks for evaluating virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing in learning and training contexts * Theoretical models describing the development, use, and assessment of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Research on novel, innovative uses of virtual technologies and data analytics for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Examinations of implementations, adoptions, and outcomes of virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning along with factors influencing these activities * Meta-analyses and meta-syntheses of research and the implications for virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning * Issues, limitations, and barriers surrounding virtual collaborations for knowledge sharing and learning Submission Process: Paper submissions must be made electronically through AMCIS 2020 Manuscript Submission Site https://new.precisionconference.com/ais. Papers will be peer reviewed using a double-blind system. Important Dates: Jan. 6, 2020: Submission system opens Feb. 28, 2020: Completed Research and ERF submissions due (5:00p.m. MST) April 22, 2020: Camera-ready papers due (5:00p.m. MST) More information is available at http://amcis2020.aisconferences.org/ or by contacting the minitrack co-chairs.

This is one of the keystones of information systems theory beyond short-lived fashions. The continued interest in this topic on behalf of the IS community is reflected by the success of the past BPMDS events, and their promotion from a workshop to a working conference.The BPMDS series has produced twenty-one events from 1998 to 2020. From 2011, BPMDS has become a two-day working conference attached to CAiSE (Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering). The basic principles of the BPMDS series are: 1.BPMDS serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development, and business applications (software) development. 2.The aim of the event is mainly discussions, rather than presentations. 3.Each event has a theme that is mandatory for idea papers. 4.Each event's results are, usually, published in a special issue of an international journal.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [AISWorld] AMCIS 2020 CFPs: Information Systems Education and the Future of Work minitrack (corrected) Date: Fri, 6 Dec 2019 17:22:32 +0000 From: Radwan Ali <rali(a)kennesaw.edu> To: aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org <aisworld(a)lists.aisnet.org> Greetings Colleagues, Please consider submitting a manuscript to the Information Systems Education and the Future of Work minitrack ( # 5 under IS in Education, Curriculum, Education, and Teaching Cases (SIGED)). This track is interested in scholarly work that focuses on IS education from the perspective of workforce development. Due to the evolving nature of information technologies in an era of data analytics, open source development, social media, and cybersecurity, the IS curriculum is seemingly lagging. It does not address the new technological advancements and changing workplace requirements quickly enough. This, along with rise of micro-credentialing in non-standard IS settings implies that evolving the IS curriculum becomes an existential necessity. The field as a whole cannot consider itself to be immune to national and local level conversations that evolve around cost of higher education, workforce preparation, and value of degrees. Having a curriculum that is able to address these issues in an innovative fashion is the only long term strategy. This track intends to produce models for future-centered curricular guidelines. We envisage research projects that investigate the IS discipline's identity through its curriculum and this curriculum's place with respect to other computing disciplines (Computer Science and IT), and as importantly, how these curricular guidelines address the modern workplace.

THEMES AND TRACK TOPICS The 21st Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research will feature the main theme of "Intelligent Government in the Intelligent Information Society". The advent of the intelligent information society will introduce new technologies that combine artificial intelligence (AI) with Internet of Things, cloud computing, and big data. Along with the development of such intelligent information technologies, governments will increasingly face unprecedented challenges and complex problems in all areas of the society. This conference will focus on the role and capacity building of government and the new governance that would be required to timely address the challenges and opportunities that are brought by the new technologies and also to construct a trust-based society by achieving sustainable development in the intelligent information society. Specifically, we will propose capacity building activities in government and discuss the government’s role in addressing the digital divide and social inequality, resulting from the aforementioned technological advancements, and in providing user-friendly public services that are based on big data analysis. Moreover, we intend to discuss the implications of private and public partnerships on new governance in the information society. In this endeavor, the event will embrace discussions on both theoretical frameworks and practical applications that deal with the government and related issues at the local, regional, and global level. Track 1. Social Media and Government Chairs: Andrea Kavanaugh and Rodrigo Sandoval-Almazan Governments and constituents have been using social media and associated affordances to broadcast information, promote perspectives and policies, share ideas, and to garner (or sometimes disrupt) support for collective action. For this year’s theme “Intelligent Government for the Intelligent Information Society” we especially welcome papers related to machine learning, big data, and related analytics that can support smart government practice and design for civic engagement. The more routine use of social media has created new challenges for all users, including continuous changes in technology and platforms, bigger and more complex data, regulations and policies, and government’s capacity to capture and accommodate more diverse perspectives and feedback. With the more pervasive use of social media by governments and constituents also comes the expectation that government will respond rapidly and meaningfully to posts, comments, likes, images. Being responsive may require news skills (technical, legal, social) in house or outsourced. Analysis of communication behavior, messages, systems and institutions, should help to increase our knowledge and understanding of the ways that these media are affecting collective problem solving and public policy development and service delivery. This track addresses a range of similar or related research questions, topics and practices regarding social media, and the analysis of content, metrics, case studies or theoretical models to advance this area of research. We welcome research and practice papers on such new topics as fake news, ethics, e-profiling from a governance perspective, and links between citizen and government use of social media and big data. Track 2: Organizational Factors, Adoption Issues and Digital Government Impacts Chairs: Jing Zhang, Lei Zheng, Chris Hinnant To build intelligent government and intelligent society, public organizations employ advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) to facilitate communication and transactions with many stakeholders such as residents, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and other government agencies. The adoption and implementation of new ICTs by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, infrastructure, technological knowledge, and personnel), leadership, trust, stakeholder involvement, organization’s structure and culture, as well as inter-organizational dynamics if the initiative cut across multiple organizations. Similarly, the adoption of ICTs in government and society has generated important impacts on the organizational processes, effectiveness, and innovativeness of public organizations, as well as the smartness of the government and the society. In this context, this track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation, and impact of new and emerging innovative technologies such as smart governance, artificial intelligence, open data, social media, citizen-centric technologies, and other novel technologies that rely on open and large data sets. Furthermore, this track seeks research on the adoption of innovative policies or practices that seek to facilitate the strategic use of various ICTs by public organizations. Track 3: Smart Cities: Intelligent Innovation and Transformation Chairs: Leonidas Anthopoulos, Wookjoon Sung, Soon Ae Chun Data and technologies drive cities to innovate and transform not only the economic productions and activities, but also citizen expectations in terms of information, services, governance participation. The cities around the globe are adopting cutting edge technologies in their attempts to enhance their efficiency, their competitiveness and the local quality of life. Industry 4.0 technologies, IoT, AI, 5G-readiness and big open data are only some of the key infrastructure that cities deploy, while digital skills and extensive collaboration among the city stakeholders are key-elements that are being utilized for the digital transformation and for the smart governance of the local digital ecosystem. This track invites research and practices in smart cities that describes smart cities development strategies, policy models, citizen engagement, and technology innovations. Topics include but not limited to industry 4.0 technologies for smart cities, mobility, energy, health, education, public safety, structures, natural environment, and business, as well as related issues of cybersecurity and privacy, community-based infrastructure resilience, urban informatics and governance. Specific interest areas include smart governance and smart city governance, smart city infrastructure and standards, applications and collaborations based on the "internet of things"; Smart sensors; Big data analytics; The Civic Technology Movement, and Intercity and intergovernmental collaborations; International cooperation and the spread of smart cities; Machine learning, AI, Blockchain and Robotics for cities and governments. Track 4: Ethical Approaches to Intelligent Government: Strategies and Implementation Chairs: Robert J. Domanski, Teresa M. Harrison, Evgeny Styrin As digital government evolves in the direction of intelligent government, computationally “intelligent” systems are rapidly being integrated into numerous facets of public policy and management. These technologies - including artificial intelligence, machine learning, facial recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics - have the potential to yield great benefits, but pose substantial challenges to privacy, autonomy, governance, equity, and fairness. In this track, we invite scholarly papers that explore the ethics of computational strategies in digital and intelligent government. The track’s objectives are to 1) identify real-world examples/cases of real or potential ethical problems, 2) seek to place such cases in the context of existing ethical frameworks for analysis, 3) create actionable recommendations for researchers, professional developers, and digital government practitioners, and finally, 4) institutionalize recommendations in digital government research and practice. Possible topics include but not limited to: Responsible uses of AI, machine learning, facial recognition, robotic process automation, and related technologies as strategies in government contexts; Ethical guidelines for digital government practice and research; Ethical challenges posed by enumeration, one-stop, and other government IT programs; Creating a culture of ethics in digital governance; Assessing data for fitness in use; Issues in integrating data sets; Impacts of AI, IT, and other computing strategies on citizens’ experience of government; Values in digital government practice and research; Conflict resolution in public intelligent systems practices and implementation. Track 5: Beyond Bureaucracy: Progressing Governance through Disruptive Innovation Chairs: Alois Paulin, Adeyinka Adewale, Zach Bastick The “Beyond Bureaucracy” track aims to outline and discuss challenges along the boundaries of society, technology, and governance, which reach beyond established e-governance and e-democracy research paths and priorities. Where well-established research ambitions in fields such as e-government, e-governance, or e-democracy focus on providing and/or studying technology that supports the work and mission of government agencies and governmental or political agents, “Beyond Bureaucracy” addresses the question on how technology can empower citizens and the conceptual sovereign-body to actively control (rather than passively observe) public-domain agencies and -agents. The Beyond Bureaucracy track aims to outline the pending technological (design science) challenges, promotes the economic potentials of new technological ecosystems, discusses ethical implications of existing and potential future models of public governance, and serves as a platform for pro/contra deliberations on Beyond Bureaucracy thought and knowledge. Track 6: Open Government Data – Maturity and Sustainability Chairs: Tobias Siebenlist, Christine Meschede Maturity and sustainability promote each other. An Intelligent Information Society benefits from Intelligent Government and vice versa. Open Government Data and its usage to create information and knowledge is a viable factor for an intelligent Information Society. As thus it builds a foundation for transparency and participation and a foundation for the creation of information services for citizens. In the area of analysis of open data sets, artificial intelligence, which requires reliable data to function, can be used to make predictions about future developments and usage patterns. The importance of these factors and their different manifestations is increasing as more and more open data sets are published, new portals are set up, services and applications are developed based on or with regard to the data sets, and existing solutions are maturing. The diversity of both factors facilitates a broad range of aspects that can be covered within this track. Another perspective is the usage of Open Government Data for sustainable development. The United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, which consist of 17 specific goals to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. Open Government Data can be used to measure the progress of achieving the goals on different administrative levels and to create value added services related to the SDGs. In particular, by providing open data, it is also possible to calculate the progress of the SDG objectives at urban and municipal level. Track 7: Artificial Intelligence for Innovating Smart and Open Governments Chairs: Sehl Mellouli, Adegboyega Ojo, Marijn Janssen Artificial intelligence (AI) represents a new research trend for Governments which has the potential to affect every aspect of government. It brings new techniques and tools such as: machine learning, natural language processing, or robotics and that can be applied in different domains for example transport, healthcare, security, or energy. AI innovation is already transforming the way governments operate, make decisions, and deliver public services. For this, we should take steps to ensure this is done in a more effective and transparent way that reassures citizens that these systems will produce fair outcomes, as well as higher quality services. Governments are not only looking at the applications of AI but also at the impacts that AI can on different levels of governments including both the front-office and the back-office. The purpose of this track is to investigate how AI can be used in all aspects of governments and how it will result in a smarter and open government. The track will also examine fundamental changes in practice and new research on approaches and mechanisms necessary for fostering AI innovation and implementation by governments for a greater transparency, accountability, service delivery, and citizen’s trust. The topics of this track are, but not limited to: AI adoption and acceptance in governments, AI for improving policy making and participation, Legal issues related to AI, AI and data in governments, AI and security in governments, Openness, transparency and accountability of algorithms, AI impacts on IT teams in governments, AI maturity models for governments, Bots for governments. Track 8: Governance of Technologies and Data in Social Innovations Chairs: Loni Hagen, Iryna Susha, Efthimios Tambouris We have recently observed various social innovations that cross traditional business boundaries or extend beyond social practices through technologies and data. For example, Uber experimented with a courier service that delivered luggage on-demand in some cities like New York. Civic hackathons emerged as a viable solution for problem-solving in local governments in several U.S. cities, such as Las Vegas and St. Louis. Several big data or computational modeling projects have been initiated on the globe. While they are innovative and promising, critical problems surrounding algorithms, data, and intelligent machines have not been examined thoroughly or discussed in scientific or policy communities. These advancements often have outpaced the way they need to be governed and what policy frameworks must be in place for their desired use. Governments tend to respond to these developments reactively and struggle to find the right balance between regulation (or encouragement) and innovation. This track calls for papers that address the governance and policy issues of, or frameworks for, technologies and data that are associated with various social innovations. We welcome empirical and conceptual studies that define the social innovation of the author’s interest in a specific context clearly and provide solid analysis, evidence, and discussion of policy issues or implications for government decision-making. Track 9: Artificial Intelligence Challenges and Implications for Public Management and Policy Chairs: Michael Ahn, Yu-Che Chen, Albert Meijer “Artificial Intelligence Challenges and Implications for Public Management and Policy” and Algorithm-based decision-making are expected to dramatically transform our government into a new and intelligent form of institutional arrangement. For this track, the development and the key attributes of the emerging AI technologies and their implications are best contextualized in the broader history of public administration. In that context, AI technologies as an instrument of decision-making could transform or replace/complement traditional government bureaucracy. Moreover, this track seeks to elucidate the meaning as well as policy and management implications in the evolution of digital government. For instance, this track aims to examine the key attributes of AI technologies that distinguish them from other Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and their impacts on government data collection, decision making, and policy implementation. In addition, this track invites insights into the identification of the key challenges to government brought by AI and their potential policy solutions. This track welcomes research papers as well as management and case study papers that address any of its focal areas. Track 10: Data-driven Society: Balancing Prosperity and Security Chairs: Hun-Yeong Kwon, Ki-Yeong Min, Michael Reiterer Today’s society is largely driven by data. In the global market the capacity to use data has become a power force. Governments of many countries have already recognized the value of data and are competing against each other to gain the upper hand. However, it is also true that data has been the major cause of privacy breaches, as it is so easy to process information easily and quickly using data. Of equal consequence, concerns over security in information systems, services and networks that contain and transmit such data need to be addressed. Uncertainty arising from the complexities of a data-driven society is bringing new challenges and threats not only to ordinary citizens but also to governments. In this sense, this track is seeking to solicit theoretical research papers and case studies on law and policies on data and personal information protection, privacy, information security, cyber security, etc. This track will address these issues from a multi-disciplinary perspective such as legal, policy, ethics, politics, public administration, computer engineering. Topics include, but are not limited to: Data Policy, Evidence Based Policy, Personal Information Protection, Privacy, Information Security, Cyber Security, Security Policies, Public Sector Efforts for Data Society, Data Industry Challenges by Private Companies, Artificial Intelligence, Legal Informatics etc. Track 11: Development and Measurement of Intelligent Government Index Chairs: Choong-sik Chung, Dongwook Kim Various types of E-government related index including UN Digital Government Development Index, E-participation Index, and Smart City index have been developed and utilized in the corporate and industrial sectors. The development of these indexes has been based on electronic services and their scope of application, and it facilitates to measure the performance and levels of advancement in different digital government projects and to conduct comparative scoring of governments. On the other hand, the development of an intelligentization index that covers the entire scope of making governments intelligent, which includes indicators such as the use of IoT, Cloud computing, Big-data analytics and AI utilization, has not been actively discussed and implemented yet. This track aims to address two important issues that can be applied to both public and private sector. First, this track intends to address the conceptual frameworks of intelligent governments that go beyond existing E-government digitalizations and other related indices. Second, this track aims to discuss and develop the key indicators that comprise an index, and the issue of measurability associated with key indicators. Topics include, but are not limited to, development of E-government, E-Participation and smart city related indexes, intelligentization and competitiveness index, development of digitalization index in central or local government, service or process intelligentization index, conceptual frameworks and validations of the intelligentization index, AI utilization index in government, measurement methods and reliability issues of evaluation methods. Track 12: Open Data for Sustainable Development Goals Chairs: Kyung Ryul Park, Carla Bonina Open data have been recognized as a key component of digital intelligence governance. However, the benefits of emerging digital technologies and data revolution are found to be unevenly distributed, diverse socio-political issues including digital inequalities, lack of citizen engagement, information capability, and data and statistical literacy need to be addressed. This track focuses on the role and impacts of data revolution and digital intelligence governance in achieving UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). It will investigate new forms of power dynamic and policy challenges that data revolution creates and how extant digital governance theories can be applied to make sense of it. We invite diverse research methodologies including a cross-national analysis, a theory-driven research, as well as in-depth interpretive case study directly related to each seventeen SDGs goals, but are not limited to: Monitoring and evaluation of SDGs; Global digital governance in SDGs data and indicator; The political economy of open data and power dynamics in digital governance; Critical approach to the concept of open data and the theoretical links between open data, digital governance and sustainable development; How national and international open data policy address the UN Sustainable Development Goals; How academia, media, citizens and civil society organizations to use open data for sustainable development and hold their leaders accountable for their actions; What are the statistical, technical and information systems challenge in using open data for SDGs; What are the institutional, legal, coordination challenge and cultural resistance in maximizing the benefit of open data in sustainable development. Track 13: Innovation of Public Service Design and Delivery in an Era of Intelligent Government Chairs: Kwangho Jung and Hyunsub Kum Government faces an increasing burden and demands for smart digital process, innovative policies and services. Rapid ICT advancements and ICT democratization have created new opportunities for creative solutions for many areas in public and private sectors and enhanced efficiency, reliability, transparency and accountability. To make the innovation work, government faces a multifaceted network that involves network-based collaboration among many stakeholders, including federal government, state governments, private vendors, retail merchants, and citizens who are affected by the innovations, as seen in the U.S. Electronic Benefit Transfers (EBT) system. Smart governance is required to facilitate the innovative service and policy designs, to implement them effectively across organizational and cultural boundaries, and to manage network efficiency, security, privacy, and equity issues. This track is to explore (1) how government initiates, implements and adopts public policy and service delivery systems, managing the networked collaborations, (2) what critical factors matter to the diffusion process, (3) how the ICT technologies can be leveraged to innovate the bureaucratic process of the public service; and (4) how the grass-root citizen participations with collective intelligence can create and manage opportunities for innovations. We call for (quasi-) experimental research and various theory-testing case studies that can touch these issues or comparative research to identify differences and similarities of smart governance for public innovation projects across developing and developed countries.
