WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE:
SIGeGov intends to bring together like-minded researchers, teachers, and practitioners
currently dispersed over many disciplines such as IS, Informatics, political and organisational
science and to provide a focal point for the debate of research issues in e-government.
This workshop will explore and exchange ideas to improve research and the application of research
results by drawing on the theoretical and empirical literature from the various fields
involved and thus strengthen ties between the different disciplines.
The field of eGovernment has seen a rapid growth both in the amount of research
done and the number of issues studied. We see a vast variety of research
interests focusing on electronic services, administrative reform,
e-participation, evaluation and measurement, standardization and convergence
towards enterprise architectures for government sectors as well as for local
governments, and many other things. SIG eGovernment is an interest organization
for eGovernment researchers we invite you to submit a “white paper” or
“position paper” on “What are the most important issues in eGovernment research
and Practice today?” The paper should not only list and discuss some topic(s)
but you should be very clear about the research issues, their relevance and
rigor. Justify why this issue(s) is (are) important to eGovernment research and
practice. What output can they yield? Why should researchers and/or governments
be interested?
*Workshop format*.The focus of the workshop is informed
discussion. The general objective of SIG eGovernment is to promote quality and
relevance in eGovernment research, and this workshop is dedicated to discussing
what the most important issues today are and different possible ways forward.
Submissions should be between 2-4 pages. Papers can address one or two issues
and should be designed to generate in-depth discussions of one of these issues
during the workshop. For the workshop papers will be clustered and each session
will discuss a small set of papers focusing on similar or related issues.
