5th IFIP International Conference on eParticipation (IFIP
ePart2013)<br>
17-19 September 2013, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city
w:st="on">Koblenz</st1:city>, <st1:country-region
w:st="on">Germany</st1:country-region></st1:place><br>

<br>
(Co-located with the 12th IFIP EGOV 2013 and the major
German Computer Society’s Informatik 2013)<br>
<br>
ePart aims to bring together researchers of distinct
disciplines in order to present and discuss advances of
eParticipation research. As the field of eParticipation is
multidisciplinary in nature, ePart provides an excellent
opportunity for researchers and practitioners with different
disciplinary backgrounds to share and discuss current
research on foundations, theories, methods, tools and
innovative applications of eParticipation. ePart also
provides a fruitful ground to nurture and plan future
cooperation. <br>
The conference also provides an excellent platform for those
who wish to learn about, or update themselves on research
advances in eParticipation, understand how other groups are
applying advanced tools and techniques, and exchange ideas
with leading international experts in the field.<br>
ePart2013 is organized by members of IFIP Working Group 8.5
and it is supported by a multidisciplinary programme
committee from all over the globe.<br>
<br>
Scope <br>
<br>
The scope of ePart 2013 covers the whole range of research
in eParticipation. Its principal aim is to review research
advances in both social and technological scientific
domains, seeking to demonstrate new theories, concepts,
methods and styles of eParticipation with the support of
innovative ICT.<br>
The fifth ePart conference focuses on, but is not limited
to, the following topics:<br>
• The Research landscape, directions, foundations,
theories and methods<br>
• Advances in particular eParticipation areas such as:
online deliberation and discourse, eConsultation, ePolling,
eLegislation, eElectioneering, eCampaigning, eVoting, social
networking<br>
• Advances in policy making using policy modelling,
simulation, impact assessment and visualisation methods and
tools<br>
• The role of Web 2.0 and social media in eParticipation
research and practice <br>
• Innovative tools and technologies for various
applications and areas of eParticipation<br>
• Findings from comparative analyses of eParticipation
practices <br>
• Impact assessment and public value considerations of
eParticipation on real world decision making<br>
• eParticipation projects: design, implementation,
evaluation, quality and impact<br>
<br>
ePart is closely aligned with IFIP EGOV 2013 (<a
href="http://www.egov-conference.org">www.egov-conference.org</a>)
and with the EGOV community. In 2013, both conferences are
also co-located with the major German Computer Society’s
Conference Informatik 2013 (<a
href="http://www.informatik2013.de">www.informatik2013.de</a>).
Participants registering for one conference get admission to
all co-located conferences). <br>
<br>
Submission Guidelines <br>
<br>
The conference allows for four distinct types of
submissions:<br>
• Research papers (max 12 pages, published in LCNS
Springer)<br>
• Ongoing research and innovative projects papers (max 8
pages, published GI LNI)<br>
• Workshops and panels on pertinent issues (2 pages)<br>
• Poster proposals (2 pages)<br>
• PhD colloquium submissions – in cooperation with
eGovPoliNet (<a href="http://www.policy-community.eu">www.policy-community.eu</a>)<br>
<br>
Completed research papers: Papers in this category deal with
completed research. They should have a strong focus on
scientific rigour and may be a maximum of 12 pages. Papers
in this track will be peer reviewed for rigour, relevance,
originality and clarity of presentation. Abstracts or
incomplete papers will not be accepted.<br>
On-going research papers: These papers describe novel
concepts, works-in-progress, or other ideas and issues that
are not currently suitable for a completed research paper.
They may be a maximum of 8 pages. Papers in this section
will also be peer reviewed, but the focus is on relevance
more than scientific rigour.<br>
Workshops and Panels: Proposals for workshops and panels (2
pages) should include rationale, objectives, expected
outcomes, approach to audience participation.<br>
Posters: Proposals for posters (2 pages) will not be blind
reviewed. Authors of accepted submissions are expected to
bring their posters which will be exposed to the general
audience at the welcome reception on Tuesday. <br>
PhD Colloquium Submissions: Prior to the conference (Sunday,
Sep 15, 2013), a PhD student colloquium will be held jointly
with EGOV 2013 and eGovPoliNet project (<a
href="http://www.policy-community.eu">www.policy-community.eu</a>)
providing an international forum for doctoral students under
the guidance of senior scholars for presenting their work,
networking opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration.<br>
<br>
ePart papers must contain original material not previously
published or currently submitted elsewhere. Paper
submissions should be anonymous and follow the relevant
templates. Submissions are only possible through the
conference’s management system. As this year, ePart will be
co-located with Informatik 2013 and all administrative
organisation will be run through a unique team, the
submission works through one unique system available at <a
href="https://www.conftool.pro/informatik2013/">https://www.conftool.pro/informatik2013/</a>
in English and German. More details are provided at the
conference’s website (<a
