Call for Papers: Dual IFIP EGOV and ePart 2015 – www.egov-conference.org Dates of conference: 30 August - 3 September 2015 Location: Thessaloniki, Greece

The annual international IFIP EGOV conference is the top-2 ranked core conference in the domain of ICT in the public sector and the public sphere. Each year, scholars from all over the globe present the most recent advancements and findings of research and innovations in e-Government, e-Governance and related fields of study.

The annual international ePart conference is the top-ranked conference in the domain of electronic participation and the 5th-ranked overall conference dedicated to information technologies in the context of public administration and the public sphere.

The dual conference is organized by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. Since the beginnings of EGOV in 2001 and the inauguration of ePart in 2009, the two conferences have provided important guidance for research and development in this fast-moving domain of study. The dual IFIP EGOV—ePart conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. The previous IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart conferences have attracted around 150 participants on average per year from all continents including developing countries

The dual 14th IFIP Electronic Government and 7th e-Participation Conference (IFIP EGOV and IFIP ePart) 2015 will be organised along five tracks:

- The General E-Government Track - The General eParticipation Track - The Open Government & Open and Big Data Track - The Policy Modelling and Policy Informatics Track - The Smart Governance, Smart Government, & Smart Cities Track

Although the five tracks overlap in certain areas, they cover and emphasise distinct areas of research and appeal to specific and important sub-communities within the overall EGOV—ePart scholarly community. Therefore the tracks have their separate and detailed call for papers.

FORMATS

Across its tracks, the dual IFIP EGOV/ePart 2015 conference hosts distinct formats of contributions: - Completed research papers (max. 12 pages, published in the IFIP ePart proceedings of Springer LNCS) - Ongoing research and innovative projects (max. 8 pages, published in alternate proceedings by a IOS Press)

Beyond the tracks, the dual IFIP EGOV/ePart 2015 conference also hosts - Posters (max. 2 pages), to be exposed along the welcome reception on Tuesday evening - Workshops and panels on pertinent issues, short abstracts (2 pages), and - PhD colloquium submissions (max. 8 pages), all to be included in the alternate proceedings published by IOS Press

These formats encourage both scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art as well as innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects along with papers on system implementations.

Prior to the conference (August 30 - 31), a PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration.
