CALL FOR PAPERS ? we kindly ask for your understanding in 
case of receiving multiple postings of this call.
The annual international IFIP Electronic Government 
(EGOV) conference is the European core conference in the 
study domain, which presents the state of the art in 
e-government and e-governance organized under the auspices 
of the IFIP Working Group 8.5 (information systems in public 
administration). Since its beginnings in 2001, the EGOV 
conference has provided important guidance for research and 
development in this fast-moving domain of study.
The IFIP EGOV conference brings together leading 
researchers and professionals from across the globe and from 
a number of disciplines. Over the years, the interest in 
this domain of study has steadily increased. In 2011, along 
with the co-located IFIP ePart conference on electronic 
participation, the two conferences attracted more than 160 
participants from all continents including developing countries.
E-government research has demonstrated its relevance to 
practice and, consequently, has influenced and shaped 
government strategies and implementations. Conversely, 
e-government practice has inspired e-government research. A 
wide range of topics has received scholarly attention. In 
recent years, the assessment and evaluation of e-government 
projects, the foundations of e-government as a research 
discipline, integration and interoperation in government, 
transformation, organizational change, citizens at the 
center, open data, adoption and diffusion, and the role of 
information and communication technology for development 
rank among leading topics on the research agenda.
For the 11^th  IFIP EGOV conference we seek 
contributions that include but are not limited to:
?Foundations of e-government, open government and 
e-governance research
?Future directions in research and practice of ICT in the 
public sector
?Research theories and frameworks for public sector 
modernization with the support of ICT
?Research methods, method integration and techniques
?Designing and assessing systems for the public sector: 
innovative cases and systems
?ICT usage, acceptance and performance of 
technology-supported public sector activities: methods and 
contemporary case analyses
?Transformative government
?Open government, transparency, and collaboration
?Approaches and solutions in open data and linked open 
government data
?Participative governance and (agent-based) policy modeling
?Digital and social divide
?Universal access as well as equity of access to information 
and services
?Social media, web 2.0 and social networking in the public 
sector
?Trust, security and privacy in e-government
?Stakeholders collaboration in government modernization
?Stakeholder-oriented public-sector redesign
?Open innovation, innovation management, transformation and 
change management, and complexity management in shaping 
public sector advancements
?Evaluation, measurement, benchmarking and benefits management
?Law enforcement, compliance and criminal justice
?Legal compliance, legal shaping and legal impact of 
innovative government services provision
?Mobile services and methods in government
?Cloud computing in the public sector
?Outsourcing, insourcing, crowdsourcing, shared services, 
and other alternatives
?Interoperability, architectures and standards in a 
networked government
?Information infrastructure, information preservation, 
information management, and information access
?Open source and free software
?Knowledge management, information sharing, semantics, 
ontologies and web 3.0
?Emergency and disaster response management
?Retaining public sector experiences, developing countries
?Education, human resources, training courses, and curricula
In 2012, the IFIP e-government conference hosts four 
distinct formats of contributions:
?Completed research papers (max 12 pages, published in LNCS 
Springer)
?Ongoing research and innovative projects (max 8 pages, 
published in Trauner or similar)
?Workshops and panels on pertinent issues
?PhD colloquium submission
These formats encourage scientific rigor and discussions of 
state of the art in the study domain, but also welcome 
innovative research approaches, work in progress, and 
studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects 
along with reports on system implementations. Prior to the 
conference (Sunday, Sep 2, 2012), a PhD student colloquium 
will be held providing an international forum for doctoral 
students under the guidance of senior scholars for 
presenting their work, networking opportunities and 
cross-disciplinary inspiration.
We seek innovative and scholarly sound contributions. 
Accepted papers of completed research will be published in 
Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Ongoing 
research and project papers will be published in Trauner 
proceedings (or similar). Read more about the submission 
guidelines and review criteria on the conference website:
