10th European Conference on eGovernment (ECEG) 2010

As governments seek to remodel and restyle their services, e-Government continues to arouse interest and attention. New dynamic issues such as e-democracy, e-citizenship, e-identity and e-voting have become core elements in the development of public sector delivery. Vital questions are posed which link technological development and a streamlining of government services to more social based values of inclusion, accessibility and power relationship ratios.

The conference committee welcomes contributions on a wide range of topics. Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• Applications of e-Government: New ideas for improving the Public Service efficiency and effectiveness.
• Challenges to e-Government: Cyber terrorism; technological limitations of citizenry; interoperability; language issues, Identity Management - including Authentication, Trust and Privacy.
• The e-Voting issue: How can e-Voting be made to work; risks and advantages from e-Voting; prototype m-Voting systems; validation and verification issues; benefits and inhibitors to e-Voting.
• e-Democracy: How technology can improve the democratic process; ICT and the case of deliberative democracy.
• Measuring e-Government/Economics of e-Government: The case for e-Government - Can benchmarking indicators be effective? What are the benefits and economics of e-Government?
• Legal, agency, trust and governance issues in e-Government: the equilibrium between actors in e-Government transactions, on issues of trust that may be expressed or understood between such actors, on legal issues promoting or inhibiting the adoption of e-Government models or measures, or on IP issues of Open Standards use in e-Government and their consequences on applications built upon e-ID or other e-Government models, such as in procurement; trust charters in e-Service delivery.
