<br>
12th IFIP Electronic Government Conference (IFIP EGOV) 2013 <br>

University of Koblenz-Landau, Koblenz, Germany <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

<br>
(co-located with the 5th IFIP ePart conference – <a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.epart-conference.org">www.epart-conference.org</a>
and major German Computer Society’s Informatik 2013 <a

<br>
The annual international IFIP Electronic Government (EGOV)
conference is the European core conference in the domain of ICT in
the public sector. Each year, scholars from all over the globe
present the state of the art and most recent innovations in
e-government, e-governance and related fields of study. The IFIP
conference is organized by the IFIP Working Group 8.5 on information
systems in the public sector. Since its beginnings in 2001, the EGOV
conference has provided important guidance for research and
development in this fast-moving domain of study. <br>
<br>
The IFIP e-government conference brings together leading researchers
and professionals from across the globe and from a number of
disciplines. Together with ePart, the sister conference on
electronic participation, the IFIP EGOV and ePart conferences have
attracted around 150 participants on average per year from all
continents including developing countries. <br>
<br>
E-government research demonstrates its relevance to practice and,
consequently, influences and shapes government strategies and
implementations. Conversely, e-government practice also inspires
e-government research. A wide range of topics has received scholarly
attention. In recent years, the assessment and evaluation of
e-government projects, the foundations of e-government as a research
discipline, integration and interoperation in government,
transformation, organizational change, citizens at the center, open
data, adoption and diffusion, open government, and the role of
information and communication technology for development rank among
leading topics in IFIP EGOV’s papers, workshops and panels. <br>
<br>
For the 12th IFIP e-government conference we seek contributions that
include but are not limited to (see a more comprehensive list on the
web page of the conference): <br>
• Foundations of e-government, open government and e-governance
research, including theories, methods and frameworks for public
sector modernization via ICT support <br>
• Open innovation, innovation management, transformation and change
management, and complexity management in shaping public sector
advancements as well as future directions in research and practice <br>
• Design approaches for ICT solutions in the public sector,
including stakeholder engagement, citizen co-creation and crowd
sourcing <br>
• Contemporary research on pertinent issues of ICT in the public
sector such as transformative government, lean government, big data,
cloud computing, open government data, participative governance,
policy modeling and simulation, digital divide, universal and mobile
access, trust, security, identity, interoperability, social media,
web 3.0, etc. <br>
• ICT usage, acceptance, measurement, benchmarking, benefit
management and performance of technology-supported public sector
activities <br>
• Legal compliance, legal shaping and legal impact of innovative
government services provision <br>
• Particular domains of study in e-government and e-governance such
as emergency and disaster response management, law enforcement,
compliance and criminal justice <br>
• Retaining public sector experiences, developing countries <br>
• Education, human resources, training courses, and curricula <br>
<br>
The IFIP e-government conference 2013 hosts five distinct formats of
contributions: <br>
• Completed research papers (max 12 pages, published in Springer
LNCS) <br>
• Ongoing research and innovative projects (max 8 pages, published
in Proceedings of German Society of Informatics (GI) series LNI –
Lecture Notes in Informatics) <br>
• Posters (max 2 pages in GI LNI format), to be exposed along the
welcome reception on Tuesday evening <br>
• Workshops and panels on pertinent issues, short abstracts (1-2
pages) to be included in the GI LNI proceedings <br>
• PhD colloquium submission – in cooperation with eGovPoliNet <br>
<br>
These formats encourage both, scientific rigor and discussions of
state of the art, as well as innovative research approaches, work in
progress, and studies of practical e-government or e-governance
projects along with papers on system implementations. Prior to the
conference (Sunday September 15), a PhD student colloquium will be
held providing doctoral students with an international forum guided
by senior scholars for presenting their work, networking
opportunities and cross-disciplinary inspiration. This year’s
colloquium will be supported by eGovPoliNet (<a
class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.policy-community.eu">www.policy-community.eu</a>)
and, besides the traditional topics, will also encourage PhD thesis
projects in ICT for governance and public policy development. <br>

<br>
The IFIP e-government conference will be co-located with IFIP ePart,
the fifth International Conference on electronic participation (IFIP
ePart), which will be dedicated to topics on e-participation and
e-democracy. IFIP ePart will take place slightly overlapping with
the IFIP e-government conference at the same venue. Participants
registering for one conference can also attend the other conference.
