EGOVIS 2015

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. EGOVIS 2015 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:

• Business intelligence in government, data mining and data warehousing

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.

• 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 2015.

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.
