[Apologies for cross-posting] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First Call for Papers EGOVIS and EDEM 2013
2nd Joint International Conference on Electronic Government and the Information Systems Perspective and International Conference on Electronic Democracy Technology-Enabled Innovation for Democracy, Government and Governance In conjunction with DEXA 2013 www.dexa.org Prague (Czech Republic), August 26 - 30, 2013 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For both parts of the joint conference, the proceedings will be published in "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) by Springer. The international conference cycle EGOVIS focuses on information systems aspects of e-government. Information systems are a core enabler for electronic government/governance in all its dimensions: e-administration, e-democracy, e-participation and e-voting. Each year EGOVIS brings together experts from academia, public administrations, and industry to discuss e-government information systems from different perspectives and disciplines, i.e. technology, policy and/or governance and public administration. We search for original papers by researchers and practitioners describing novel ideas and innovative solutions in the field. This year’s conference will have a specific stream on regional and cross-border cooperation and collaboration projects and initiatives in the Central and Eastern Europe. EGOVIS 2013 invites paper submissions on all topics related to e-government and the information systems perspective. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: Accessibility Big data in e-government Business intelligence Business process reengineering Change and Risk management Cloud computing Collaboration support systems Cross-border initiatives Cybernetics policies Data analysis Database aspects Data mining and data warehousing Digital citizen cards Digital libraries Education and training E-government enterprise architectures E-government policies and strategies Electronic identity, identity management Electronic signature Expert systems and decision support Geographical information systems (GIS) Governance in cyberspace Government collaboration patterns Information modelling and integration Information overload Information retrieval Information systems architecture Interoperability Knowledge management Legal and regulatory aspects Metadata and public information Mobile services Open data Open source solutions for e-government Personalization and recommender systems Privacy, trust and security Regional collaboration (e.g. central European research and cross-border piloting) Risk governance and management Semantic Web and ontologies Service-oriented architectures Software solutions Strategic management and performance measurement Ubiquitous and pervasive computing User acceptance User interfaces Value creation and business modelling Web 2.0 applications Web services Workflow management The EDEM conference series focuses on electronic citizen participation (“eParticipation”). This application field has matured and been integrated in a large number of Government processes. Successful electronic democracy implementation has technical, legal, organisational and social aspects. The conference has hence reflected this multi-disciplinary approach. Both theoretical and applied research is welcome. We welcome papers with a diversity of methodological approaches but particularly those with a strong theoretical underpinning. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Citizen participation in administrative processes Citizen involvement in administrative design Participatory budgeting eTransparency and anti-corruption Municipal and local participation eConsultation in the legislative process Political education and citizen participation eDemocracy as a means of involving young people Web 2.0 and citizen participation The role of social networks and platforms (Twitter, youtube, etc.) Deliberation and citizen involvement Participation of citizens abroad ePetitions and eVoting Observation and transparency in electronic citizen involvement The European Union and electronic citizen participation The European Citizens’ Initiative eParticipation and the media eParticipation and the digital divide Pitfalls and dangers, limits of eParticipation Privacy aspects Changes in the “rules of play” by the introduction of electronic media CONFERENCE PROGRAM CHAIRPERSONS: - Andrea Kö, Corvinus University Budapest - Christine Leitner, Danube University Krems, Austria - Herbert Leitold, A-SIT Secure Information Technology Center, Austria - Alexander Prosser, University of Economics and Business Administration, Vienna HONORARY CHAIRPERSONS: - Wichian Chutimaskul, King Mongkut's University of Technology, Thailand - Fernando Galindo, University Zaragoza, Spain - Roland Traunmüller, University of Linz, Austria - Irina Zálišová, EPMA, Prague (tbc) IMPORTANT DATES: - Paper submission: February 8, 2013 - Notification of acceptance: May 3, 2013 - Camera-ready copies due: May 31, 2013 PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions or experience reports in English. The submitted manuscript should closely reflect the final paper as it will appear in the proceedings. Papers should not exceed 15 pages in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) Any submission that exceeds length limits or deviates from formatting requirements may be rejected without review. For paper registration and electronic submission see www.dexa.org starting January 2013. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of exposition. Duplicate submissions are not allowed. Authors are expected to agree to the following terms: "I understand that the paper being submitted must not overlap substantially with any other paper that I am a co-author of and that is currently submitted elsewhere. Furthermore, previously published papers with any overlap are cited prominently in this submission." Duplicate submissions will be rejected. Questions about this policy or how it applies to your work should be directed to the PC-chairs. ACCEPTED PAPERS: All accepted conference papers will be published in "Lecture Notes in Computer Science" (LNCS) by Springer Verlag. Accepted papers will be of two sizes: regular (15-page papers) and short (up to 8 pages). The former will tend to be descriptions of complete technical work, while the latter will tend to be descriptions of interesting, innovative ideas, which nevertheless require more work to mature. Authors of accepted papers must sign a Springer copyright release form.
