Call for Papers
The scope of the ePart 2010 covers the whole range of research in
eParticipation. Its principal aim is to review research advances in both
social and technological scientific domains, seeking to demonstrate new
concepts, methods and styles of eParticipation.
This second ePart conference focuses on, but is not limited to, the
following topics around eParticipation:
* The Research landscape, directions and foundations
* Research methods, method integration and techniques
* Cultural and normative differences in eParticipation
* Comparative analyses of eParticipation practices
* eParticipation projects: design, implementation, evaluation, quality
and impact
* Technologies for eParticipation, policy modelling, simulation and
visualisation
* Online conversation and deliberation, eConsulation, ePoling,
eLegislation, eElectioneering, eVoting, Social networking
* Education, training courses, and curricula
The conference allows for four distinct types of submissions:
* Completed research papers
* Ongoing research and innovative projects
* Workshops and panels on pertinent issues
* PhD colloquium submission.
ePart is closely aligned with EGOV 2010 - the IFIP eGovernment conference

for the first time outside the DEXA cluster of conferences. ePart 2010 is
sponsored by IFIP, WG8.5.
