20th International Digital Government Research Conference (dg.o
2019).
June 18-20, 2019
Dubai, UAE
Dear Colleagues,
We invite proposals for pre-conference workshops or tutorials
relevant to digital government research for the 20th International
Digital Government Research Conference (dg.o 2019). The dg.o
conference is an established forum for the presentation,
discussion and demonstration of interdisciplinary digital
government research, technology innovation and applications. The
pre-conference sessions provide unique opportunities for
researchers and government officials to interact intensely around
a critical digital government domain. Each dg.o conference
registration includes one full-day or two half-day tutorials or
workshops.
Pre-conference Research or Management Workshops (maximum 2 pages)
Dg.o workshops are half- or full-day facilitated discussions.
Discussions are typically stimulated by short presentations by
workshop participants. Individuals proposing workshops will assume
the responsibility of identifying and selecting participants for
the workshop and for conducting workshop activities.
Pre-conference Tutorials (maximum 2 pages)
dg.o tutorials are half- or full-day presentations or hands-on
experiences offering deeper insight into the scientific or
government domains, research topics or methods, technologies or
field experiences of veteran digital government researchers and
practitioners. Conveners of successful tutorials will receive a
$500 stipend.
The dg.o 2019 conference will be held June 18-20, 2019 in Dubai,
UAE. The conference theme "Governance in the Age of Artificial
Intelligence" focuses on the growing applications of Artificial
Intelligence (AI), the numerous opportunities they provide-as well
as challenges and dilemmas-for governments worldwide. Traditional
forms of service provisioning, policy-making and enforcement are
changing due to the inclusion of AI algorithms, mechanisms and
techniques. The growing digitization of government operations, the
universal datafication of societal activities, behaviors and
sentiments, as well as the maturity and feasibility of big data
techniques and applications have collectively laid down solid
foundations for industrial-scale operationalization of AI across
most government and societal sectors. This timely theme, builds on
the dg.o 2018 conference which focused on governance in the data
age. The rapid growth of the data-driven economy and the use of
intelligent mechanisms result in rapid digitalization of
government operations and the emergence of new governance
structures. This datafication and AI revolution is boosted by
growing smart cities applications, Internet of Things (IoT),
social media, mobile apps, among other sources of big data. We
also welcome submissions from the broader domain of digital
government research not linked directly to the conference theme.
