You are invited to submit a paper for presentation and discussion at the 2014 pre-ECIS Special Interest Group (SIG) eGovernment workshop, to be held on 8 June 2014, in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and relevance in eGovernment research. As previous SIG eGovernment pre-AIS event 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
Transformations in the digital public sector call for a redefinition of the roles of Information Systems and innovation-driving public service models comprising co-development processes. Approaches like the CO-design, CO-creative CO-constructive development (“CO3”) have been setting the process-framework with living labs, participatory design and open innovation.

Four main streams of change can be identified in re-shaping the public sector:


·      The generation and opening up of larger amounts of data from public sector operations.

·      Increased and strengthened interactions between government and citizens.

·      Simplified and speedier IS development and deployment.

·      The growth of new financial solutions with innovation consortia and public/private partnerships.

The goal of this workshop is to provide an informal interactive venue for discussing the expanding knowledge on these streams, and on their inter-relationships, by bridging the perspectives from IS, e-government, public administration and social sciences, and from the practitioner and citizen perspectives.

eGovernment-related questions to be discussed include (but are not limited to):

- Big/open data.
- Smart Cities.
- Social media and services.
- Open innovation.
- Citizen-centric eGovernment.
- User-driven eGovernment design, management, and implementation.
- Transparency and openness.
- The relationship between eGovernment and the IS field.
- Engaging stakeholders in eGovernment research.
- Challenges of open-source and open-standard solutions.

Details of the programme will be made available online at:
http://start.aisnet.org/members/group.aspx?id=89758

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.
