The submission system for HICSS-46 is now closed. We met our goal of receiving almost one hundred manuscript submissions, which is a great accomplishment in times when conference travel funds for scholars run low. We had again a strong showing of international submissions, which underscores the global reach of this e-Gov track. Thanks to all submitters for their interest in this fine conference.
Attached to the e-Government track at HICSS-46 are also two all-day symposia, one on the status quo of open government and the other one on insider threats.
Symposium I (Four Years of Open Government: An Appraisal)
Symposium II (Towards Analytic-Driven Insider Threat Detection & Mitigation)
We are currently working on the program details for both symposia and hope for as productive and insightful exchanges as we had at HICSS-45.
The HICSS-46 Electronic Government track has been a hotbed for groundbreaking studies and new ideas in this particular research domain. Many studies first presented here were developed further and then turned into publications at top journals.
Ten minitracks cover the full spectrum of research avenues of electronic government including minitracks dedicated to emerging topics, open government, and social media and social networking, or, most recently, insider threats. The HICSS e-Government Track has assumed an excellent reputation among e-Government scholars. Several times it has been ranked the academically most rigorous research conference on e-Government in the world. The E-Government Track is in the top 2 of HICSS tracks with the lowest acceptance rate and the highest average per-session attendance.
Minitracks are dedicated to the following topical areas:
* Cloud Infrastructures and Interoperability
* E-Government Education
* Emerging Topics
* Policy, e-Governance, Ethics, and Law
* Infrastructure Security
* Insider Threats (Modeling, Detection, and Mitigation)
* Open Government and Participation
* Services and Information
* Social Media and Social Networking
* Transformational Government
