You are invited to submit a paper for presentation and discussion at the 2014 pre-ICIS Special Interest Group (SIG) eGovernment workshop, to be held on 14 December 2014, in Auckland, New Zealand.

The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and relevance in eGovernment research. Asprevious 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 will focus on Public Sector Information Systems: Service, Governance, and Citizen Engagement Challenges. The uniqueness of design, management, and implementation of information systems in a public sector context calls for attention from the IS research community. The emergence of complex sociotechnical phenomena such as Big Data, social media, welfare technologies, and ubiquitous computing, pose renewed challenges for the ability of governments to rethink digital services and the governance of public sector IS while, at the same time, provide a window of opportunity for citizen engagement in decision-making.

This workshop tackles new development on Public Sector IS and eGovernment, bringing together academicperspectives from the areas of management information systems, public administration and social sciences, as well as from the practitioner areas.

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

- Big data in eGovernment;
- Open data in eGovernment;
- Smart Cities;
- Social media and eGovernment services;
- Open innovation in eGovernment;
- eGovernment and eParticipation;
- Citizen-centric eGovernment;
- User-driven eGovernment design, management, and implementation;
- Transparency and openness in eGovernment services;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with new areas such as eParticipation and old ones such as eLearning, eBusiness, and eHealth;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with the wider IS research area;
- Engaging stakeholders in eGovernment 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 retainfull authorship rights.
