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.
