The Digital Government Society of North America (DGSNA), with major support from the US National Science Foundation, presents the 10th International Digital Government Research Conference (dg.o 2009). The dg.o meetings are an established forum for the presentation, discussion and demonstration of interdisciplinary digital government research, technology innovation and applications. Each year the conference combines: Presentations of effective partnerships among government professionals, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs, as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of digital government.
Research on digital government as an interdisciplinary domain that lies at the intersections of computing research, social and behavioral science research, and the problems and missions of government. The dg.o 2009 conference theme “Social Networks: Making Connections between Citizens, Data and Government” focuses on Web 2.0 technology, the emerging Social Web, and social network systems that allow large scale distributed collaboration, information sharing and creation of collective intelligence in government areas. The Social Web that includes blogs, wikis, facebook, flickr, youtube, etc., is emerging and evolving through massive participation of users in creating, managing, and sharing multimedia data by linking people and forming virtual interactive communities. Governments are facing unprecedented transparency and openness through electronic grassroots mobilizations using social network technology. This conference focuses, in particular, on the policy implications of open government and the innovative applications of Web 2.0, Social Web, as well as technologies throughout the domain. We also welcome submissions from the broader domain of digital government research.
We invite research papers, management, policy and case study papers, student research papers, on-going research posters, and live demonstrations that address the impact of social networks as transformative technology for G2G, G2C, C2C, G2B interactions. We also encourage the submission of panels, ‘birds-of-a-feather’ discussions, and pre-conference tutorials and workshops.
