>>  1. INTRODUCTION
>>  ---------------------------------------------------------------------
>>
>>  The fast pace of technological innovation is contributing to major
>>  changes in governments, societies, and the world economy. Innovations
>>  like web 2.0 and semantic web, cloud and grid computing, pervasive
>>  broadband access and ubiquitous services, software as service, global
>>  digital identity and others have reached a level of impact that goes
>>  well beyond the use of computers and the Internet. In particular, the
>>  impact of technological innovation on government has been profound,
>>  with increased collaboration between agencies to deliver seamless
>>  services, increased participation of citizens in policy- and
>>  decision-making, delivery of location-aware public services, and new
>>  paradigms like connected governance, ubiquitous and ambient public
>>  services, knowledge-based administration, participatory budgeting,
>>  government chief information officers, and local electronic
>>  governance, among others.
>>
>>  The International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic
>>  Governance (ICEGOV) series focuses on the use of technology to
>>  transform relationships between government and citizens, businesses,
>>  civil society and other arms of government (Electronic
>>  Governance). The series looks beyond the traditional focus on
>>  technology-enabled transformation in government (Electronic
>>  Government), towards establishing foundations for good governance and
>>  for sustainable national development.
>>
>>  The Series, established by the Electronic Governance Programme at
>>  UNU-IIST in 2007, aims to bring together practitioners, developers and
>>  researchers from government, academia, industry, non-governmental
>>  organizations and UN organizations to share the latest in theory and
>>  practice of Electronic Governance. Following its first three editions
>>  in Macao (ICEGOV2007), Cairo (ICEGOV2008) and Bogota (ICEGOV2009),
>>  ICEGOV established its identity as:
>>
>>  1) A Global Conference - ICEGOV consistently attracts submissions from
>>     more than 45 countries, including over 60% representation from
>>     developing and transition countries.
>>
>>  2) A Multi-Stakeholder Conference - ICEGOV is well attended by all
>>     major stakeholders of technology-enabled innovation in government:
>>     government, academia, industry and NGOs.
>>
>>  3) A Networking Conference - ICEGOV brings participation from across
>>     thematic, national, and development borders, with common interests
>>     in transformational use of technology in government.
>>
>>  4) A Research and Practice Conference - ICEGOV includes a healthy
>>     balance of research-, practice- and solution-related work - looking
>>     at technology, at the processes surrounding its implementation and
>>     management, or at the wider context of Electronic Governance.
>>
>>  5) A Capacity Building Conference - ICEGOV features a rich program of
>>     invited talks, invited sessions, tutorials, workshops, panel
>>     discussions, posters, demos, etc. all taught, moderated or
>>     organized by leading researchers and practitioners in the area.
>>
>>  6) An International Development Conference - The focus on Electronic
>>     Governance helps consider how government investments in technology,
>>     resulting in expected social and economic benefits, contribute to
>>     the fulfillment of the national development goals.
>>
>>  7) A UN Conference - With international development focus, with the
>>     Electronic Governance Programme at UNU-IIST as the founder and the
>>     main force behind its editions, and with several UN organizations
>>     being actively involved, ICEGOV exhibits a strong UN character.
>>
>>  In addition, ICEGOV promotes close interactions between government,
>>  academia, industry and NGO stakeholders so that each group can
>>  contribute to as well as benefit from the interactions with others:
>>
>>  - The stakeholders from government can share the knowledge of concrete
>>    initiatives as well as lessons learnt and challenges faced when
>>    carrying them out. In return, they can learn about the latest
>>    research results, and how they are implemented by industry,
>>    non-governmental organizations and other governments to address the
>>    challenges they face.
>>
>>  - The stakeholders from academia can share the models, theories and
>>    frameworks which extend the understanding of Electronic Governance
>>    and upon which concrete solutions can be built. In return, they can
>>    learn about concrete challenges faced by governments, gain access to
>>    concrete cases, and identify opportunities to implement and deploy
>>    research prototypes.
>>
>>  - The stakeholders from industry and NGOs can share technological and
>>    socio-organizational solutions to be used in government practice. In
>>    return, they can learn about the challenges faced by governments,
>>    and the latest research findings available for developing solutions.
>>

>>     Governance, consequently giving rise to new research.
