Development Methods for Electronic Government, Mini-Track, part of Electronic Government Track, 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
  • Workshop
  • 05-08 January 2010

In order to realize the promised transformation of government and its relationships with citizens, Electronic Government has to rely on a range of technical, organizational, and regulatory components - software, hardware, services, processes, protocols, contracts, architectures, etc. Developing such components, building complete solutions from them, deploying such solutions in government organizations to obtain the expected transformational effect and consequently produce public value, is challenging, risky and expensive.

This minitrack will focus on development methods, covering technical, managerial and organizational dimensions, to address various challenges facing Electronic Government development: evolving requirements, dependability and accessibility, adherence to law and regulations, technical and organizational complexity, legacy systems and heterogeneity, different interpretations of rules and regulations, dependence on ever-changing legal, operational, political and cultural environment, etc. Of particular interest are contributions that can make Electronic Government development more measurable, predictable, replicable and scalable, contributing to the establishment of engineering foundations and practices for the domain.
