Polity Journal

The Digital Government Society of North America (DGSNA), with major

support from the US National Science Foundation, presents the 10th

International Digital Government Research Conference (dg.o 2009). The

dg.o meetings are an established forum for the presentation,

discussion and demonstration of interdisciplinary digital government

research, technology innovation and applications. Each year the

conference combines:

·         Presentations of effective partnerships among government

professionals, university researchers, relevant businesses, and NGOs,

as well as grassroots citizen groups, to advance the practice of

digital government.

·         Research on digital government as an interdisciplinary

domain that lies at the intersections of computing research, social

and behavioral science research, and the problems and missions of

government.

The dg.o 2009 conference theme "Social Networks: Making Connections

between Citizens, Data and Government" focuses on Web 2.0 technology,

the emerging Social Web, and social network systems that allow large

scale distributed collaboration, information sharing and creation of

collective intelligence in government areas. The Social Web that

includes blogs, wikis, facebook, flickr, youtube, etc., is emerging

and evolving through massive participation of users in creating,

managing, and sharing multimedia data by linking people and forming

virtual interactive communities. Governments are facing unprecedented

transparency and openness through electronic grassroots mobilizations

using social network technology. This conference focuses, in

particular, on the policy implications of open government, the

innovative applications of Web 2.0, Social Web, as well as

technologies throughout the domain. We also welcome submissions from

the broader domain of digital government research.

We invite research papers, management, policy and case study papers,

student research papers, on-going research posters, and live

demonstrations that address the impact of social networks as

transformative technology for G2G, G2C, C2C, G2B interactions. We also

encourage the submission of panels, 'birds-of-a-feather' discussions,

and pre-conference tutorials and workshops. The conference Organizing

Committee particularly encourages submissions on interdisciplinary and

crosscutting topics addressing social computing in the context of

broad government challenges and opportunities.

While the conference theme is social networks, topics can include, but

are not limited, to the following,

·         Digital Government Application Domains: such as courts,

crisis management, education, emergency response; international

initiatives and cooperation, health and human services, law

enforcement and criminal justice; legislative systems, natural

resources management, grants administration, government statistics,

regulation and rulemaking; security; tax administration;

transportation systems, and urban planning.

·         IT-enabled Government Management and Operations: such as

digital government organization and management strategies,

decision-making processes; information technology adoption and

diffusion; program planning; IT and service architectures,

cross-boundary information sharing and integration, long-term

preservation and archiving of government information, information

assurance, service integration, as well as technology transition and

transfer.

·         Information Values and Policies: such as accessibility,

digital democracy and governance, digital divide, openness, privacy,

public participation in democratic processes, security, privacy,

transparency, trust, and universal access to information and services.

·         Information Technology and Tools to Support Government: such

as collaboration tools; cyberinfrastructure for digital government

domains; digital libraries and knowledge management; geographic

information systems; grid computing; human-computer interaction;

intelligent agents, information integration; interoperable data,

networks and architectures; large scale data and information

acquisition and management; mobile government; national and

international infrastructures for information and communication,

multiple modalities and multimedia; service-oriented architectures;

semantic web; social networking, mashups, software engineering for

large-scale government projects.

Submissions must not exceed the maximum number of pages specified for

each type of submission in camera-ready ACM Proceedings format (double

column, single spaced pages). Please do not use page numbers. Paper

titles should be on the first page of text, rather than on a separate

cover page.

Research and Policy track papers will be reviewed through a double

blind review process. Therefore, author names and contact information

must be omitted from all submissions. Authors must identify the

topic(s) being addressed by the paper to assist the program committee

in the review process.

All other submissions should follow the same ACM proceedings

camera-ready format with author names on the paper.

All accepted submissions will appear in the proceedings, and authors

are expected to present their work.  At least one author for each

accepted paper must register before  the camera ready version is due

in order to be included in the proceedings.

Research papers (maximum 10 pages) - blind review

These submissions report innovative digital government research

results in the form of a formal scholarly paper. Papers on any digital

government topic and all research methodologies are welcome. Relevance

to digital government problems, goals, or policies must be explicit.

Management, case study, or policy papers (maximum 6 pages) - blind review

These submissions describe and evaluate practical digital government

projects or initiatives, discuss major policy themes, or present and
