<p>E-Government Cluster of Minitracks
<p>Government at all levels (federal, state, and local) and across all
branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) is the biggest single investor
in and user of Information Technology (IT). Given its enormously varied
missions, government employs a vast range of information technology applications
which have dramatically changed the way government is conducted and will
continue to affect the way citizens and businesses expect government to
function in the 21st century. Government is also a powerful incubator,
creator, influencer, precursor, and director of information technology
programs, initiatives, and trends. The creation of the Internet and the
National Science Foundation's current multiyear Information Technology
Research (ITR)
<br>and Digital Government programs are examples of this kind of government
involvement in IT development. The close and complex relationship between
information technology and the public sector has become a major focus of
academic research in fields such as public administration, organizational
behavior, information science, and technology innovation.
<p>The study field of E-Government is covered by four minitracks (s-Gov-Management,
e-Policy, e-Democracy, and e-Government Services), which are intended to
contribute to the increased understanding of this complex and important
topic and to promote improved research in these fields of study. To promote
these goals, the four minitracks complement each other by establishing
distinct focal points. Please read the detailed CfP under <a href="http://www2.ctg.albany.edu/conference/hicss/">http://www2.ctg.albany.edu/conference/hicss/</a>
