Electronic Government and the Information Systems Perspective
and
International Conference on Electronic Democracy
EGOVIS & EDEM 2013
Technology-Enabled Innovation for Democracy, Government and Governance

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:

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 andsocial 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
