Citizens have come to expect and demand governmental services matching private-sector services in every aspect of quality, quantity, and availability. This mini-track seeks research papers and practitioner reports addressing citizens' expectations and acceptance of e-government services across government levels and branches, success factors for e-government services development and implementation, value assessments of e-government services, and methodologies, techniques, and tools for service composition.  We are particularly interested in the characteristics, development, implementation, uses, and evaluation of e-government services and systems. E-government services pose numerous challenges in terms of interoperability of services, design of services, optimization of process chains, identification and assessment of the value-chain of services, cross-organizational service chains, workflow support of e-services, integration of internal IT support, G2G and G2C e-services, outsourcing of services, digital preservation, electronic records management, etc. Research to guide the development, management and evaluation of e-government services is in great demand in this important and rapidly growing domain.


Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:

  1. Citizens' expectations and acceptance of e-government services across government levels and branches

  2. Success factors for e-government services development and implementation

  3. Value assessment of e-government services

  4. Methodologies, techniques, and tools for service composition

  5. E-government services provision in developing countries

  6. Comparative and/or trans-national e-government services

  7. Trust perception of the e-government services, and trust dynamics among individuals, groups, and organizations in the value chain of service provision

  8. The willingness of citizens to share personal information with the government electronically

  9. Challenges and/or recommendations for increasing citizen trust of e-government

  10. Impacts of e-government services

  11. Political, legal, organizational, and technological barriers to e-government diffusion

  12. Opportunities and challenges of e-government mobile services

  13. Business process analysis, value-chain analysis and change requirements for e-government services

  14. IT-based procedures, workflow support, protocols, and schemes used for government services

  15. Development and maintenance issues of government portals

  16. Access to governmental documents and records, including legal, policy, and technical implications, program models, and case studies

  17. Electronic record management and archiving standards

  18. Case studies on innovative services in various branches of the public sector, such as e-services in the administrative, judicial, executive, defense, health care, education, etc.

  19. Service modeling, optimization and analysis
