You are invited to submit a paper for presentation and discussion at the 2012 pre-ICIS Special Interest Group (SIG) eGovernment workshop, to be held on 15 December 2012, in Orlando, Florida.

The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and relevance in eGovernment research. As previous SIG eGovernment pre-ICIS workshops, this workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the most important issues today, theoretical streams and different possible ways forward. The focus of the workshop is informed discussion.

Workshop Objective
This year, the workshop aims to focus on Open Data and Open Innovation in eGovernment. eGovernment has for many years been seen as a government activity, but today more actors are moving in. Governments increasingly provide open data for citizens to make use of and for companies and NGOs to develop services on. Moreover, there is an increasing number of interdepartmental and cross public-private sector initiatives. This workshop discusses the new perspective of eGovernment, including open service models and the changing roles for governments as well as citizens, businesses and organizations.

Questions to be examined include (but are not limited to):

- Open data in the eGovernment;
- Open innovation in eGovernment;
- eGovernment and eParticipation;
- Citizen-centric eGovernment;
- User-driven e-government design, management, and implementation;
- Transparency and openness in eGovernment services;
- Social media and eGovernment services;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with new areas such as e-participation and old ones such as e-learning, e-commerce, and e-health;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with the wider IS research area;
- Engaging stakeholders e-government research;
- Challenges of open-source and open-standard solutions in eGovernment;

Submission
We welcome full research papers, research in progress, and discussion papers. Full papers should be max 5000 words. Discussion papers may be short, just a few pages, but should clearly and distinctly address one or more issues pertinent to eGovernment research including research methods and quality as well as focus of studies. Papers should be designed to support in-depth discussions of one of these issues during the workshop. The workshop papers will be clustered and each session will discuss a small set of papers focusing on similar or related issues.

Each submission will be reviewed by the workshop co-chairs and at least one external reviewer. The submission will not be published as proceedings, and the authors will retain full authorship rights.
