CALL FOR PAPERS – we kindly ask for your understanding in case of receiving multiple postings of this call. 

    The annual international IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV) conference is the European core conference in the study domain, which presents the state of the art in e-government and e-governance organized under the auspices of the IFIP Working Group 8.5 (information systems in public administration). 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 EGOV conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Over the years, the interest in this domain of study has steadily increased. In 2011, along with the co-located IFIP ePart conference on electronic participation, the two conferences attracted more than 160 participants from all continents including developing countries.

    E-government research has demonstrated its relevance to practice and, consequently, has influenced and shaped government strategies and implementations. Conversely, e-government practice has inspired 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, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics on the research agenda.

    For the 11^th IFIP EGOV conference we seek contributions that include but are not limited to:

    In 2012, the IFIP e-government conference hosts four distinct formats of contributions:

These formats encourage scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art in the study domain, but also welcome innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects along with reports on system implementations. Prior to the conference (Sunday, Sep 2, 2012), a PhD student colloquium will be held providing an international forum for doctoral students under the guidance of senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration.

    We seek innovative and scholarly sound contributions. Accepted papers of completed research will be published in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Ongoing research and project papers will be published in Trauner proceedings (or similar). Read more about the submission guidelines and review criteria on the conference website:

    IFIP EGOV 2012 will be co-located with IFIP ePart, the fourth International Conference on electronic participation, which is dedicated to topics on e-participation and e-democracy. IFIP ePart will only slightly overlap with the IFIP EGOV conference at the same venue. Participants registering for one conference can also attend the other conference.
