the theme "*Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence*".
dg.o 2019
will be hosted by the Mohammed Bin Rashid School of Government,
Dubai,
United Arab Emirates, from June 18 till 20, 2019. The dg.o
conferences are
an established forum for presentation, discussion, and
demonstration of
interdisciplinary research on digital government, political
participation,
civic engagement, technology innovation, applications, and
practice. Each
year the conference brings together scholars recognized for the
interdisciplinary and innovative nature of their work, their
contributions
to theory (rigor) and practice (relevance), their focus on
important and
timely topics and the quality of their writing.

*TRACK DESCRIPTION*
In the past years, researchers and practitioners have highlighted
the
potential of Blockchain (BC) and distributed ledger technology to
revolutionize government processes. Blockchain technology enables
distributed power and embedded security. As such, Blockchain is
regarded as
an innovative, general purpose technology, offering new ways of
organization in many domains, including e-government for
transactions and
information exchange. However, due to its very characteristics of
peer to
peer information exchange, its distributed nature, the still
developing
technology, the involvement of new actors, roles, etc., the
implementation
of blockchain applications raise issues that need governance
attention.
BC initiatives have implications for citizen trust, privacy,
inclusion and
participation. Governmental organizations need a thorough
understanding of
the BC design principles, the possible applications in the domain
of
e-government and the exploration of governance mechanisms to deal
with the
limitations and challenges of the BC technology when used in a
myriad of
sectors, ranging from the financial and business sector to the
social
domains of healthcare and education.
This track seeks research that explores the impact of block chain
technology on all levels of government and effects or applications
in
society that raise governance issues. We welcome a diversity in
research
designs, approaches and methodologies.

should
be on the first page of text, rather than on a separate cover
page.
Research, Management, Case Study, and Policy papers will be
reviewed
through a *double-blind review* process. Therefore, author names
and
contact information must be omitted from all submissions. Authors
must
identify the topic(s) being addressed in the paper to assist the
program
committee in the review process.
All other submissions should follow the same ACM proceedings
camera-ready
