*Track coverage*
The adoption by national administrations of information and communication
technologies (ICTs) to deliver public services has long been recognized as
central to supporting higher quality provision of services, expanded
engagement with citizens, and better policy outcomes. The thrust of
e-government is the re-invention of government services through ICTs. The
new organizational model whose foundations lie in ICTs can support new ways
of thinking and working in public administration. Equally important is the
use of ICTs for the provision of healthcare and education services. The
provision of healthcare services in a networked society means that
healthcare professionals interact with each other and their patients
facilitated by ICT. Yet, the question of how these networks are formed
needs to be understood. Similarly, technology presents many opportunities
for teaching and learning, but these must be critically understood within
complex political, cultural and social systems.
ICT supported services to the public, including government, healthcare and
education cover diverse situations ranging from very sophisticated (for
example, in hospitals) to basic services (usually in resource-restricted in
communities); complex systems to mobile applications; highly collaborative
to individual use; and the like. Furthermore, citizens are becoming
increasingly more empowered with becoming custodians of the own personal
data and personalized services. This has resulted in more challenges
regarding access to personal data; the issue of privacy; access to
un-moderated information, etc.

*Recommended topics*
Topics of interest may include any ICT-related topic in the domain of
government, healthcare and education.
