<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">Governments today face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. New technologies provide governments with the opportunity to redefine the
relationship between government and the public that they serve, create innovative and customer-focused services, encourage transparency, promote participatory democracy, facilitate the co-design of services, form new partnerships in service delivery, streamline
operations and reduce costs, and build trust in government. But harnessing and implementing technologies effectively raises a number of policy, technology, and governance challenges. This year, the conference program will focus on research and practice related
to the adoption of smart technologies by governments, citizens as well as private and non-profit organizations. More and more, the adoption of smart technologies by individuals and organizations is opening new opportunities for creating public-private partnerships
to improve current government services as well as to create new, innovative ones.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">Submissions addressing this theme could include but are not limited to: smart technologies for governments, semantic technologies for e-government,
web services applications, open and transparent government; social media and public participation; effective use of social media by governments; crowd sourcing for government decision making; transformative government; models of collaboration among government,
industry, NGOs, and citizens; data integration, visualizations, and analytics for government decision making; agile and flexible government; financial/economic/social policy making; policy and governance issues that enable, facilitate, and promote smart government;
government productivity and effectiveness; service quality and customer-centric e-Government; social and health infrastructure; global government collaboration models and practices; infrastructure for data sharing among government agencies; computing infrastructure
models, cyber-security and project management; IT-enabled government management and operations, and interest in program execution; IT and tools to support government security; and methods to measure and evaluate success in e-Government.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">In addition, we welcome submissions from the broader domain of digital government research. We invite completed research papers, papers describing
management and practice, policy and case studies, on-going research posters, and live demonstrations that demonstrate the use of technology to promote innovative e-Government services. We particularly encourage submissions on interdisciplinary and crosscutting
topics. We also encourage the submission of suggestions for panels, and pre-conference tutorials and workshops.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">Social media use in public administration has been growing rapidly around the world. Since the launch of web 2.0 many governments and public
officials use new online tools to communicate among themselves, with other organizations and with their constituents. This growing use has created new challenges for government users (e.g., regulations, policies), and an overwhelming increase in messages and
other communications from citizens that are difficult to accommodate. These outcomes have started changing government interaction among their own personnel and with citizens and other agencies.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

while providing demand-driven services.. To be successful in this vision fundamental changes are necessary in practice and new research that examines governments as open systems seeking participation and interaction with their environment is needed. The track

<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#222222">Over the past decade, many public organizations have adopted information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate communication and
transactions with many stakeholders such as residents, private sector businesses, non-profit organizations, and other government agencies. While recent digital government research has often focused on understanding the external impacts of ICT adoption by government,
the adoption and implementation of new ICT by public organizations is influenced by organizational factors such as the availability of resources (i.e. funding, technological knowledge, and personnel), managerial leadership, and the organization’s technological
culture. This track solicits research that examines the organizational factors that influence the adoption and implementation of new ICT as well as the impact of new ICT on the organizational processes, effectiveness, and innovativeness of public organizations.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

public sector process efficiency and service integration and delivery, and to support better decision making and collaboration with the public. Intelligent systems, new platforms for communication and collaboration, data collection, sharing and analytics,
shared services, sensors and ubiquitous computing are all the key ingredients to transform the government that benefit the public and business, and to improve the quality of life. This track aims to facilitate theoretical and practical discussions on approaches
towards smart government, smart cities, smart community, and smart citizens by technology and policy innovations in the area of energy, transport, health, public safety, buildings, urban planning, environment, business and others.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

and information technologies have transformed their lives as well as the public and private services being provided to them. Therefore, smart cities and smart work could be considered highly interrelated and, actually, two sides of the same coin. City administrators
are facing daunting tasks in order to accommodate emerging characteristics of urban life and promote better quality of life and improved work life balance, while enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of administrative services. This track invites theoretical
and empirical papers concerning smart cities and smart work. Suggested topics include but are not limited to the followings: smart city services, ICT driven city development, cooperative policy development, participative governance, novel service typologies
of smart ubiquitous cities, community forums for service development, spaces and mediated presence, smart work centers, telecommuting, flextime, mobile work, quality of city life, work life balance, urban mobile learning, creative cooperatives, skill changes

The Doctoral Colloquium is a highly interactive full-day forum in which Ph.D. students meet and discuss their work with each other and with senior faculty from a variety of disciplines associated with digital government research. The colloquium is planned for
Monday June 17, 2013. PhD students can submit papers describing their planned or in-progress doctoral dissertation covering any research areas relevant to digital government. Ideally, student participants will have completed one or two years of doctoral study
or progressed far enough in their research to have a structured proposal idea and perhaps some preliminary findings, but have not reached the stage of defending their dissertations. We expect students at this stage of study will gain the most value from feedback
on their work and from the more general discussions of doctoral programs and scholarly careers. See the detailed announcement for complete information on the colloquium and how to submit an application. Material provided in applications to the doctoral colloquium
will not be published in the proceedings. However, we encourage students to submit finished research to one of the paper tracks or as a poster or demo.</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
