3rd 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 11th 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

•                Transformative government
•                Open government, transparency, and collaboration
•                Approaches and solutions in open data and linked open government data

•                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:
