The International Conference on e-Government (ICEG 2008) is an opportunity for academics to share the latest thinking on e-Government research. e-Government developmental trends, adoption, architecture, transformation, barriers, success factors and management are factors that have lead to an escalation of the level of research activity on the topic. This is not least because the rise in e-Government provision brings with it a greater interest in the study of e-Government, from both a practical and a theoretical point of view. As controversy rages around issues such as e-Voting and identity cards, so academics, practitioners and service providers pick up the gauntlet of supporting or attacking these issues. Much time and money is being spent in considering the best way forward and in examining what has been done well and what lessons can be learnt when things go wrong. This conference aims to bring evidence of the research being undertaken across the globe to the attention of co-workers and the wider community for the purposes of helping practitioners find ways to put research into practice, and for researchers to gain an understanding of additional real-world problems. The advisory group for ICEG 2008 therefore invites submissions of papers on both theory and practice in respect of the conference themes outlined below, from academics, government departments and practitioners in the public and private sector. The conference, to be held in Melbourne on the 23-24 October 2008, is also seeking demonstrations of suitable e-Government products, case studies and reports of work-in-progress. Topics may include, but are not limited to: Applications of e-Government including New ideas for improving Public Service access, convenience, delivery, effectiveness, efficiency, innovation, trust; Health; education; homeland security; Electronic payments; e-Tax administration; Public record archives; Electronic waste; National implementation of e-Government. e-Voting: How can e-Voting be made to work; Risks and advantages from e-Voting; Touch screen voting; Local e-Participation.
