New information technologies are being applied swiftly to all levels of government service: local, county, regional and even national and international. Information technology (IT) is being used to improve data management and data sharing, planning and decision support, service delivery, and more. Application areas affected by government mandates to improve e-government service include healthcare and safety; law enforcement, security, and justice; education; land use; and many others. DIGITAL GOVERNMENT: E-Government Research, Case Studies, and Implementation provides the field with a definitive, interdisciplinary, and understandable review of recent IT and related research of particular importance to digital government. The book also includes explorations of current and future policy implications, and case studies of successful applications in a variety of government settings.

This book deals with innovative trends in e-commerce, e-business and e-government.

Der vorliegende Band enthält die Beiträge zur Fachtagung Informationsbedarfsermittlung und -analyse für den Entwurf von Informationssystemen, die von der Fachgruppe EMISA der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) an der Universität Linz im Juli 1987 durchgeführt wurde. Die Fachgruppe EMISA beschäftigt sich mit Methoden und Werkzeugen für den Entwurf von Informationssystemen. Dabei haben verschiedene Tagungen der Fachgruppe spezielle Phasen oder Probleme des Entwurfsvorganges detailliert untersucht. Die Linzer Fachtagung ist vor allem denjenigen Fragen gewidmet, die am Beginn des Entwurfs von Informationssystemen stehen. Obwohl der Phase der Informationsbedarfsermittlung und -analyse im Lebenszyklus eines Informationssystems zentrale Bedeutung zukommt, wird sie bislang noch immer wesentlich weniger beherrscht als die nachfolgenden Entwicklungsschritte. Die Fachtagung sollte daher Praktikern und Wissenschaftlern Gelegenheit geben, die zur Lösung anstehenden Probleme zu identifizieren und existierende Ansätze zu diskutieren. Das Tagungsprogramm überdeckt die gesamte Bandbreite von Erfahrungen mit bereits in der Praxis eingesetzten Verfahren bis zur Präsentation des aktuellen Standes der Entwicklung neuer Methoden.

The annual EGOV conference assesses the state of the art in e-government/ e-governance and provides guidance for research, development and application in this fast-moving ?eld. EGOV 2005 in Copenhagen built on the achievements of the preceding conferences (EGOV 2004 in Zaragoza, EGOV 2003 in Prague, EGOV 2002 in Aix-en-Provence). The EGOV conferences have become a - union for academics and professionals worldwide. In that way, EGOV conf- ences provide both an exchange on the state of a?airs concerning e-government developments and a basis for networking and building the community. EGOV 2005 broughtsome changesin the outline and structure of the conf- ence. In line with the growing number of submissions the conference was more structured and the reviewing process was more formalized, adopting a doub- blind peer-review procedure. The new design of EGOV safeguards the scienti?c quality and guarantees up-to-date information together with a discussion of the state of the art and of emerging themes in the ?eld. Hence EGOV 2005 had both research sections and a workshop part. It comprised completed research and research in progress, workshopandposterpresentations,andaPhDstudentcolloquium.Theproce- ings volume published by Springer, Heidelberg includes the papers presented in the conferencepart.The volumepublished by Trauner,Linz contains the EGOV workshop and poster contributions.
