TOPICS

The Open Government & Big Data Track focuses on practices and methods of transparency, accountability, public big data sharing, data for improving public value and data analytics. The explosive growth in data, the opening of data, data provide by the Internet of Things and increasing computational power creates new opportunities for innovating government. These developments resulted in a repertoire of instruments and tools to gather, process, analyse, visualize and make use of the huge amount of data.

These changes have resulted in a shift between the government and the public and all need parties have entered this field. This has resulted in the development of all kind of applications to deal with societal issues and creating more transparency and accountability, technical challenges, information quality, implementation considerations, policy implications, among others).

·         Workshops and panels on pertinent issues, short abstracts (2 pages), and

·         PhD colloquium submissions

(to be included in the alternate proceedings published by IOS Press)



These formats encourage both, scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art as well as innovative research approaches, work in progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance projects along with papers on system implementations.



Prior to the conference (that is, on Sunday and Monday, August 30 and 31), a PhD student colloquium will be held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration.
