This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th IFIP WG 8.5 International Conference on Electronic Participation, ePart 2019, held in San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy, in September 2019, in conjunction with the 18th IFIP WG 8.5 IFIP International Conference on Electronic Government (EGOV 2019) and the International Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government Conference (CeDEM 2019).

The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers are clustered under the following topical sections: eParticipation Developments; Digital Transformations; Crisis and Emergency Management; and User Perspectives.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th IFIP WG 8.5 International Conference on Electronic Participation, ePart 2019, held in Linköping, Sweden, in August/September 2020, in conjunction with the 19th IFIP WG 8.5 IFIP International Conference on Electronic Government (EGOV 2020) and the International Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government Conference (CeDEM 2020). The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 11 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. The papers are clustered under the following topical sections: eParticipation developments; digital transformation; open government and transparency; and user perspectives.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 14th IFIP WG 8.5 International Conference on Electronic Participation, ePart 2022, held in Linköping, Sweden, during September 6–8, 2022, in conjunction with IFIP WG 8.5 Electronic Government (EGOV 2022), and the Conference for E-Democracy and Open Government Conference (CeDEM 2022).

The 12 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. The papers are clustered under the following topical sections: E-democracy and e-participation; ICT & sustainability; digital and social media; legal informatics; and digital society.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th IFIP WG 8.5 International Conference on Electronic Participation, ePart 2024, held in Ghent, Belgium, during September 3–5, 2024.

The 15 full papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. The conference is dedicated to digital or electronic government, open government, local government (smart cities), smart governance, artificial intelligence (AI), e-democracy, policy informatics, and electronic participation.

This book offers the proceedings of the Second International Data Science Conference (iDSC2019), organized by Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Austria. The Conference brought together researchers, scientists, and business experts to discuss new ways of embracing agile approaches to various facets of data science, including machine learning and artificial intelligence, data mining, data visualization, and communication. The papers gathered here include case studies of applied techniques, and theoretical papers that push the field into the future. The full-length scientific-track papers on Data Analytics are broadly grouped by category, including Complexity; NLP and Semantics; Modelling; and Comprehensibility.

Theoretical papers in the book cover such topics as Optimal Regression Tree Models Through Mixed Integer Programming; Chance Influence in Datasets with Large Number of Features; Adversarial Networks — A Technology for Image Augmentation; and Optimal Regression Tree Models Through Mixed Integer Programming.

Five shorter student-track papers are also published here, on topics such as
