***Description of the workshop
E-government is a highly important strategic direction to reduce
administrative burden and make government more efficient and
service-directed. Despite recent achievements in research and actual
implementation of e-Government in practice, many more questions still
remain on how to achieve full interoperability and dynamic
reconfiguration of e-government services, with better accessibility,
more transparency and manageability.

The Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) paradigm provides the necessary
theoretical and technological support for the desired electronic
government environment to become a reality. It perfectly satisfies the
demand for a solution for a highly distributed heterogeneous environment
with an enormous number of autonomous services and their providers
together with users with their own goals and preferences. Therefore, the
combination of the e-Government domain and SOA appears to be natural, as
SOA provides an ideal platform to achieve the goal of a citizen-oriented
and citizen-centric government organization.

This workshop will provide a forum to discuss how the SOA paradigm may
facilitate further advances in e-Government research as well as best
practice examples of already implemented and applied solutions in the
context of e-Government. In this workshop we expect theoretical,
technical and implementation-oriented contributions on all aspects of
the application of SOA for e-Government issues and challenges. The
workshop welcomes contributions on the following topics, though other
related contributions are also welcome:
Service-Oriented Architectuers for eGovernment;
Quality of Service in eGovernment platforms;
Methodology and tools for variability management in eGovernment;
Software Engineering approaches for the domain of eGovernment;
Software Patterns for the domain of eGovernment;
Reference Architectures for SOA or SaS in in eGovernment;
Domain and business models for eGovernment;
Migration of legacy eGovernment systems to SOA;
Assessments of eGovernment tools and solutions;
Security, privacy and trust
Interoperability in eGovernment
Onotolgies for eGovernement
e-service delivery - government to citizen
Social, technical, and economical aspects of eGovernment
eProcurement
eParticipation and eCitizenship
eDemocracy
eVoting
Acceptability issues in eGovernmnet;
Case studies and best practices;

*** Submission guidelines
Papers up to six pages (including figures, tables and references) can be
submitted. Papers should follow the IEEE format, which is single-spaced,
two columns, 10 pt font. Papers should include a title, the name and
affiliation of each author, an abstract of up to 150 words and no more
than eight keywords. Please submit papers, in PDF or PS format, by email
to Alexander Lazovik (a.lazovik@rug.nl). All submitted papers will be
peer-reviewed by a minimum of three program committee members. The
accepted papers and the summary report produced by each group will be
published in the conference proceedings (by the IEEE Computer Society
Press). If you have further questions or remarks, please do not
hesitate to contact the workshop organizers.
