You are invited to submit a paper for presentation and
discussion at the 2012 pre-ICIS Special Interest Group (SIG)
eGovernment workshop, to be held on 15 December 2012, in
Orlando, Florida.
The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality
and relevance in eGovernment research. As previous SIG
eGovernment pre-ICIS workshops, this workshop is dedicated to
open discussions about the most important issues today,
theoretical streams and different possible ways forward. The
focus of the workshop is informed discussion.
Workshop Objective
This year, the workshop aims to focus on Open Data and Open
Innovation in eGovernment. eGovernment has for many years been
seen as a government activity, but today more actors are
moving in. Governments increasingly provide open data for
citizens to make use of and for companies and NGOs to develop
services on. Moreover, there is an increasing number of
interdepartmental and cross public-private sector initiatives.
This workshop discusses the new perspective of eGovernment,
including open service models and the changing roles for
governments as well as citizens, businesses and organizations.
Questions to be examined include (but are not limited to):
- Open data in the eGovernment;
- Open innovation in eGovernment;
- eGovernment and eParticipation;
- Citizen-centric eGovernment;
- User-driven e-government design, management, and
implementation;
- Transparency and openness in eGovernment services;
- Social media and eGovernment services;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with new areas such
as e-participation and old ones such as e-learning,
e-commerce, and e-health;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with the wider IS
research area;
- Engaging stakeholders e-government research;
- Challenges of open-source and open-standard solutions in
eGovernment;
Submission
We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and
discussion papers. Full papers should be max 5000 words.
Discussion papers may be short, just a few pages, but should
clearly and distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to
eGovernment research including research methods and quality as
well as focus of studies. Papers should be designed to support
in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the
workshop. The workshop papers will be clustered and each
session will discuss a small set of papers focusing on similar
or related issues.
Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop co-chairs and
at least one external reviewer. The submission will not be
published as proceedings, and the authors will retain full
authorship rights.
