***************** CALL FOR PAPERS IFIP EGOV 2013*****************

12th IFIP Electronic Government Conference (IFIP EGOV) 2013 September 16 to 19, 2013 University of Koblenz-Landau, Koblenz, Germany www.egov-conference.org (co-located with the 5th IFIP ePart conference – www.epart-conference.org and major German Computer Society’s Informatik 2013 www.informatik2013.de)

The annual international IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV) conference is the European core conference in the domain of ICT in the public sector. Each year, scholars from all over the globe present the state of the art and most recent innovations in e-government, e-governance and related fields of study. The IFIP conference is organized by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information systems in the public sector. 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 e-government conference brings together leading researchers and professionals from across the globe and from a number of disciplines. Together with ePart, the sister conference on electronic participation, the IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences have attracted around 150 participants on average per year from all continents including developing countries.

E-government research demonstrates its relevance to practice and, consequently, influences and shapes government strategies and implementations. Conversely, e-government practice also inspires 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, open government, and the role of information and communication technology for development rank among leading topics in IFIP EGOV’s papers, workshops and panels.

For the 12th IFIP e-government conference we seek contributions that include but are not limited to (see a more comprehensive list on the web page of the conference): • Foundations of e-government, open government and e-governance research, including theories, methods and frameworks for public sector modernization via ICT support • Open innovation, innovation management, transformation and change management, and complexity management in shaping public sector advancements as well as future directions in research and practice • Design approaches for ICT solutions in the public sector, including stakeholder engagement, citizen co-creation and crowd sourcing • Contemporary research on pertinent issues of ICT in the public sector such as transformative government, lean government, big data, cloud computing, open government data, participative governance, policy modeling and simulation, digital divide, universal and mobile access, trust, security, identity, interoperability, social media, web 3.0, etc. • ICT usage, acceptance, measurement, benchmarking, benefit management and performance of technology-supported public sector activities • Legal compliance, legal shaping and legal impact of innovative government services provision • Particular domains of study in e-government and e-governance such as emergency and disaster response management, law enforcement, compliance and criminal justice • Retaining public sector experiences, developing countries • Education, human resources, training courses, and curricula

The IFIP e-government conference 2013 hosts five distinct formats of contributions: • Completed research papers (max 12 pages, published in Springer LNCS) • Ongoing research and innovative projects (max 8 pages, published in Proceedings of German Society of Informatics (GI) series LNI – Lecture Notes in Informatics) • Posters (max 2 pages in GI LNI format), to be exposed along the welcome reception on Tuesday evening • Workshops and panels on pertinent issues, short abstracts (1-2 pages) to be included in the GI LNI proceedings • PhD colloquium submission – in cooperation with eGovPoliNet

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 (Sunday September 15), 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. This year’s colloquium will be supported by eGovPoliNet (www.policy-community.eu) and, besides the traditional topics, will also encourage PhD thesis projects in ICT for governance and public policy development.

The IFIP e-government conference will be co-located with IFIP ePart, the fifth International Conference on electronic participation (IFIP ePart), which will be dedicated to topics on e-participation and e-democracy. IFIP ePart will take place slightly overlapping with the IFIP e-government conference at the same venue. Participants registering for one conference can also attend the other conference.
