You are invited to submit a paper for presentation and discussion at the 2015 pre-ICIS Special Interest Group (SIG) eGovernment workshop, to be held on 13 December 2015, in Fort Worth, Texas.

The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and relevance in eGovernment research within the IS community. 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
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):

- Cloud Computing in eGovernment;
- Mobile eGovernment;
- Personalized eGovernment services;
- Smart Cities;
- Social media and eGovernment services;
- Open innovation in eGovernment;
- Open-source and open-standard solutions in eGovernment.
- Transparency and openness in eGovernment services;
- Big and Open data in eGovernment;
- Citizen-centric eGovernment;
- User-driven eGovernment design, management, and implementation;
- eGovernment and eParticipation;
- What is the relationship of eGovernment with areas such as eLearning, eBusiness, and eHealth;
- The relationship between Public and Private IS;
- The relationship between eGovernment and IS research;
- Engaged scholarship in eGovernment research.

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 sessionwill 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.
