********************* CALL FOR PAPERS *********************
5th IFIP International Conference on eParticipation (IFIP ePart2013)
17-19 September 2013, Koblenz, Germany
www.epart-conference.org
(Co-located with the 12th IFIP EGOV 2013 and the major German Computer
Society’s Informatik 2013)
ePart aims to bring together researchers of distinct disciplines in
order to present and discuss advances of eParticipation research. As the
field of eParticipation is multidisciplinary in nature, ePart provides
an excellent opportunity for researchers and practitioners with
different disciplinary backgrounds to share and discuss current research
on foundations, theories, methods, tools and innovative applications of
eParticipation. ePart also provides a fruitful ground to nurture and
plan future cooperation.
The conference also provides an excellent platform for those who wish to
learn about, or update themselves on research advances in
eParticipation, understand how other groups are applying advanced tools
and techniques, and exchange ideas with leading international experts in
the field.
ePart2013 is organized by members of IFIP Working Group 8.5 and it is
supported by a multidisciplinary programme committee from all over the
globe.
Scope
The scope of ePart 2013 covers the whole range of research in
eParticipation. Its principal aim is to review research advances in both
social and technological scientific domains, seeking to demonstrate new
theories, concepts, methods and styles of eParticipation with the
support of innovative ICT.
The fifth ePart conference focuses on, but is not limited to, the
following topics:
• The Research landscape, directions, foundations, theories and methods
• Advances in particular eParticipation areas such as: online
deliberation and discourse, eConsultation, ePolling, eLegislation,
eElectioneering, eCampaigning, eVoting, social networking
• Advances in policy making using policy modelling, simulation,
impact assessment and visualisation methods and tools
• The role of Web 2.0 and social media in eParticipation research and
practice
• Innovative tools and technologies for various applications and
areas of eParticipation
• Findings from comparative analyses of eParticipation practices
• Impact assessment and public value considerations of eParticipation
on real world decision making
• eParticipation projects: design, implementation, evaluation,
quality and impact
ePart is closely aligned with IFIP EGOV 2013 (www.egov-conference.org)
and with the EGOV community. In 2013, both conferences are also
co-located with the major German Computer Society’s Conference
Informatik 2013 (www.informatik2013.de). Participants registering for
one conference get admission to all co-located conferences).
Submission Guidelines
The conference allows for four distinct types of submissions:
• Research papers (max 12 pages, published in LCNS Springer)
• Ongoing research and innovative projects papers (max 8 pages,
published GI LNI)
• Workshops and panels on pertinent issues (2 pages)
• Poster proposals (2 pages)
• PhD colloquium submissions – in cooperation with eGovPoliNet
(www.policy-community.eu)
Completed research papers: Papers in this category deal with completed
research. They should have a strong focus on scientific rigour and may
be a maximum of 12 pages. Papers in this track will be peer reviewed for
rigour, relevance, originality and clarity of presentation. Abstracts or
incomplete papers will not be accepted.
On-going research papers: These papers describe novel concepts,
works-in-progress, or other ideas and issues that are not currently
suitable for a completed research paper. They may be a maximum of 8
pages. Papers in this section will also be peer reviewed, but the focus
is on relevance more than scientific rigour.
Workshops and Panels: Proposals for workshops and panels (2 pages)
should include rationale, objectives, expected outcomes, approach to
audience participation.
Posters: Proposals for posters (2 pages) will not be blind reviewed.
Authors of accepted submissions are expected to bring their posters
which will be exposed to the general audience at the welcome reception
on Tuesday.
PhD Colloquium Submissions: Prior to the conference (Sunday, Sep 15,
2013), a PhD student colloquium will be held jointly with EGOV 2013 and
eGovPoliNet project (www.policy-community.eu) providing an international
forum for doctoral students under the guidance of senior scholars for
presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary
inspiration.
ePart papers must contain original material not previously published or
currently submitted elsewhere. Paper submissions should be anonymous and
follow the relevant templates. Submissions are only possible through the
conference’s management system. As this year, ePart will be co-located
with Informatik 2013 and all administrative organisation will be run
