Digital Government Track of EMCIS 2020

The increasing exploitation of ICTs, both traditional and emerging one, for improving value generation by government agencies, has led to the rapid development of Digital Government research and practice. The first generation of it, usually referred to as ‘e-Government 1.0’ aimed mainly at the exploitation of ICT for improving the efficiency and decreasing the cost of the complex processes and operations of government agencies, as well as their transactions with citizens and firms. However, the second generation of it, e-Government 2.0, focused on the use of ICT, and especially the Internet and the social media, for enhancing government transparency, as well as interaction and collaboration with the citizens and firms, and in general promote open and participative government. Recently, a third generation of e-government has emerged, aiming on one hand to improve policy making processes and outcomes, and on the other to exploit some promising technologies (such as business analytics, cloud, Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, etc.), which are quite successful in the private sector, in the public sector as well.
