The Scandinavian Workshop on E-government is a forum for discussing current e-government research issues. The workshop is dedicated to open discussions about the current status of e-government research and future directions. The focus is thus on informal discussion rather than on formal conference presentations.
The theme chosen for SWEG 2012 is “user-centric e-government”. With the diffusion of ICT in the public sector in countries across the world, and the widespread inclusion of digitalization in government strategic plans, it is now time for e-government research to shift its focus to the citizen role in e-government processes. The emergence of social media, the evolution of Web 2.0 platforms, together with rising expectations from citizens as users of digital services, highlight the need to adopt a user-centric view of e-government design, management, and implementation.
The focus of invited submissions thus includes, but is not limited to:
- Social media and e-government services;
- Citizen-centric e-government maturity models;
- E-democracy and e-participation;
- Transparency and openness in e-government services;
- Engaging stakeholders e-government research;
- User-driven e-government design, management, and implementation;
- Challenges of open-source and open-standard solutions in e-government;
- Methods and concepts of participatory e-government processes;
- Innovative design and prototypes of e-government services.
