Description
-----------
Public administrations made great effort to provide more sophisticated 
E-Government services, for example offering one-stop services and 
supporting personalization. While strategies, methodologies and 
realization of E-Government services vary significantly between the 
various actors and stakeholders, the alignment of IT with the processes 
and objectives of the service providers plays an increasing role in 
service management.
Major critical factors for success of E-Government services, in this 
context, include methodologies, technologies and tools. Methodologies 
play an increasingly important role in the management and definition of 
e-government initiatives. Technologies improve their efficiency and 
effectiveness while tools allow new specific services and 
functionalities. The alignment of methodologies, technologies and tools 
plays an increasing role to enhance the dissemination, accessibility and 
acceptance of E-Government by citizens and companies.
The issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions of 
selected papers presented at the 8th International Conference on 
Methodologies, Technologies and Tools enabling e-Government 
(http://conferences.cs.unicam.it/metteg14/), but we also strongly 
encourage researchers unable to participate in the conference to submit 
articles for this call.
