Inclusive m-Government: defining the vision, exploring the new 
opportunities

Due to specific features of mobile technology allowing better reach,
accessibility, precision and personalization, m-Government is
considered to be potentially more user-centric and  inclusive in
providing services to its public, than other digital government
initiatives. Accessibility issues, however, are complex and go beyond a
simple availability of technology and services. Complexity of
accessibility issues along with fast changing technological and mobile
market landscapes bring new opportunities as well as pose constraints
for building inclusive m-Government. Our panel brings together
researchers and practitioners from varied backgrounds to define the 
vision of
inclusive m-Government, discuss the challenges of achieving it, and
work together on
finding potential solutions for addressing them.

The panel will discuss what inclusiveness means and how it is applied to
m-Government: what are the inclusive m-Government services? Can
current m-Government services and services tailored to specific
inclusion group (based on age, health, literacy, gender etc.) be
considered inclusive?
What will help to achieve inclusiveness in the near future - in terms
of our actions, legislation, technology; and what potentially can
inhibit those trends?
