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
