Workshop on Design & Evaluation of e-Government Applications and Services (DEGAS'2009)
(24 August 2009) Uppsala, Sweden
http://ihcs.irit.fr/degas2009/
held in conjunction with the IFIP TC 13 International Conference on
Human-Computer Interaction INTERACT'2009
http://www.interact2009.org/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aims and goals of the workshop
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main goal of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners together to explore the issues and challenges related to the development of usable and accessible user interfaces for e-Government applications using innovative Information and Communication Technology (ICT). DEGAS'2009 is the second in a series of work-shop organized at IFIP TC 13 Interact conference focused on User Interface for e-Government applications. The present edition addresses the emergence of ubiquitous platforms and the multiple points of access to e-Government applications. In particular, we are concerned by case studies, theories, applications, and design and evaluation methods for ubiquitous e-Government applications that are committed with the universal access by citizens. This workshop is intended for anyone (researchers and practitioners) who is concerned about the design of interfaces that will be accessible and usable. This includes representatives from administrations, academia (e.g., lecturers in HCI), and policy-making organizations. We want to facilitate discussion on the topics related to the design and evaluation of ubiquitous e-Government applications, requirements and constraints for the development of e-Government applications, user experience with e-Government services, user involvement into the development process, universal ac-cess, policies for implementing accessibility and usability culture into government agencies. Expected outcomes for this workshop include a review of trends and cur-rently available solutions for the design and evaluation of User Interfaces of e-Government applications and a research agenda for further developments in the field.
We invite participants to present case studies, approaches and reflections on (but not limited to) the following topics:
. Identification of the diversity of users (e.g. citizens, stakeholders, etc)
. User Interface requirements and constraints for of e-Government applications
. User experience with e-Government services
. User involvement into the development process
. Accessibility and universal access design
. Public policies for implementing accessibility and usability culture into governmental and third parties agencies developing e-government applications
. Quality models for measuring the quality of e-Government user interfaces
. Methods for user interfaces design for e-Government
. Successes and failures stories of e-Government user interfaces
. Recommendations for public Web sites
. Innovative use of ICT technologies including (but not limited to) instant messaging (i.g. MSN), GPRS, interactive TV, tracking systems, road traffic management and regulatory enforcement, etc.
This workshop is officially supported by the IFIP WG13.3 on HCI and disability. http://www.info.fundp.ac.be/IFIP13-3/

Submission
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop is intended for anyone (researchers and practitioners) who is concerned about the design of interfaces that will be accessible and usable. This will include representatives from administrations, academia (e.g., lecturers in HCI), and policy-making organizations. The desired number of participants is between 10 and 20. We invite participants to present their approaches and reflections on the topics mentioned above. Papers will be screwed by an international committee who will select papers according to: evidence of experience working with HCI and e-Gov and technical contribution to the field interest. Both full papers describing completed work (up to 5,000 words) and position papers describing work in progress (up to 2,000 words) are welcome. Papers should be written in English and adhere to the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) format, as a PDF file. Contribution Papers should be sent via the Conference review systems Web site at http://ihcs.irit.fr/degas2009/. Authors should also provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and the motivation to participate on this workshop.
