Government
Edited by: Professor Zaigham Mahmood

1. Introduction
With the widespread use of social media, Web 2.0 and Cloud
technologies, the societies are becoming more online and better
connected. Citizens are now better able to voice their opinions
and concerns, and keener than ever to participate in the
functioning of their governments. General public, who have easy
and sometime free access to cloud storage and social media, expect
governments to be deploying the newer emerging technologies to
develop e-services and integrate their information systems. With
this awareness, Electronic Government (EG) that previously relied
on older ICT is now making use of the newer technologies and
evolving into what is often referred to as Connected Government
(c-government or CG). Governments that are at a higher level of
c-government maturity are successfully employing technologies such
as SOA, cloud computing, web-based services and mobile media, as a
way of becoming more relevant to citizens. They are already
publishing accessible e-services and enabling open communication
channels with their citizens. However, majority of developing
nations are not as advanced; still, they are keen to deploy the
newer technologies for more effective c-government, mobile
government (MG) and c-governance.
The purpose of this book is twofold. Firstly, to discuss how the
Web 2.0 and cloud computing technologies can be effectively used
by governments to enhance the effectiveness and transparency of
their functions including the provision of e-services. Secondly,
to discuss how these technologies and tools can be used by the
citizens to effectively access the e-services and fully
participate in the affairs of the state.
1. Suggested Topics
The relevant topics include:
Web 2.0, social media and cloud computing technologies for
connected government
E-government and m-government policies, strategies and
frameworks
E-democracy, e-voting, e-legislation and e-services using
emerging technologies
Effective use of SOA and cloud computing for connected
government provision
Privacy and protection of citizens data in distributed
computing environments
Conversational web, social media and mobile technologies for
connected EG
Success factors and best practices in relation to the use of
newer technologies
Challenges/opportunities in relation to the use of cloud-related
technologies
Ethical and legal issues with reference to c-government and
c-governance
E-government Case studies from developed nations and developing
countries
Government-to-government and government-to-business interactions
using Web 2.0
E-participation of citizens using social media and
conversational web
Effective provision of e-services and use of Web 2.0, social
media and mobile technologies
Pre-requisites for EG implementation when using the afore
mentioned technologies
E-readiness and ICT infrastructure provision as well as training
provision for citizens
EG, c-government and m-government project initiation, planning
and implementation
EG, c-government and m-government project evaluation metrics.
It is expected that the book will comprise a number of sections. A
tentative idea is as follows:
* Section 1: Technologies, Methodologies and Frameworks
* Section 2: Implementation Examples and Case Studies
* Section 3: Guidance, Recommendations and Future Directions
3. Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit 1-2-page
chapter proposals clearly stating the objective, scope and
structure of the proposed chapters - by the deadline mentioned
above. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified within two
weeks (in most cases) and given guidelines for full chapter
preparation. Completed chapters should be approximately 10,000
words or 20-30 pages in length longer chapters will also be
acceptable. Full chapters will be reviewed following a
double-blind peer review process to ensure relevance, quality,
originality and high information content. IGIs e-editorial
discovery system will be used for most the chapter development and
submission processes. In the first instance, 1-2-page chapter
proposals, as WORD files, should be sent to:
