:::: 5th ANNUAL NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DIGITAL GOVERNMENT RESEARCH:
:::: NEW CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
:::: May 24-26, 2004 in Seattle, Washington
Call for Research Papers, Demonstrations, Posters, Birds-of-a-Feather
Sessions, and (new this year) Project Highlights from NSF Digital
Government Projects
The National Science Foundation and the Digital Government Research
Center (DGRC) invite you to submit to dg.o2004, the 5th annual National
Conference on Digital Government Research. http://www.dgrc.org/dgo2004
This year, we focus on:
? reflecting on the practical aspects and unique opportunities
presented by digital government research projects, projects that are
inter-disciplinary with the collaboration of government partners,
? highlighting the breadth and depth of current digital government
projects, and
? exploring the nature of digital government research as a new and
growing research area.
Digital government research is interdisciplinary and multi-sector, with
a focus on research at the intersections of computer and information
sciences, IT-related social, political, and behavioral sciences, and
the problems and missions of government agencies. Correspondingly, the
conference attracts researchers in the varied disciplines, government
agencies representatives, policy specialists, business experts,
representatives from the software industry, and members of the public.
New for dg.o 2004:
? A new type of submission - Project Highlight- for active NSF Digital
Government projects to describe their accomplishments, success stories,
broader impact, challenges/barriers, and research value.
? A longer format for formal research papers where the best papers
will be considered for inclusion in either a special issue of an
existing scholarly journal or for a possible new Digital Government
Research Journal currently under discussion. We encourage submission of
papers that advance the emerging field of digital government research.
Note: We expect to invite the best submissions in all categories to an
NSF Digital Government workshop, to be held in the Washington, D.C.
area following the conference.
Formal research papers, posters, demonstrations, and proposals for
Birds-of-a-Feather discussion groups may address any aspect of digital
government research, including but not limited to the following:
IT-Enabled Government Operations:
? Integration of Data and Services
? IT Adoption in Government
? Evaluation of IT Adoption in Government
? Interoperable Data, Networks and Architectures
? Long Term Preservation and Archiving of Government Information
? Security, Privacy, and Information Assurance
Citizen Interactions
? Universal Access to Information and Services
? Privacy and trust
? Transparency and usability
? Public participation in democratic processes
IT Research:
? Geographic Information Systems
? Semantic Web
? The Grid
? Modalities, Multimedia Interfaces, and HCI
? Trust, Confidentiality, Ownership, Reliability
? Large Scale Data and Information Acquisition and Management
? Software Engineering of Large-Scale Government Projects
? Technology Transition
? Collaboration Tools
? Interoperable Data, Networks and Architectures
? Long Term Preservation and Archiving of Government Information
? Security, Privacy, and Information Assurance
Social Science Research:
? Public Policy Issues and Impacts
? Organizational and Management Issues
? Digital Democracy and Governance
? Impact of More Transparent and Understandable Government Processes
and Decision-Making
Government Application Domains:
? Electronic Grants Administration
? Environmental Management
? Electronic Rulemaking
? National and International Digital Government Efforts and Cooperation
? Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement
? Crisis Management and Emergency Response
? Federal Statistics
? Health and human services

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Method: This year the ONLINE SUBMISSION SYSTEM MUST BE USED for all
formal research papers, posters, system demos, project highlights and
Birds-of-a-Feather proposals. After submission, you will be able to use
the system to track the progress of your paper through the review
process, and to read comments made by the reviewers upon acceptance or
rejection of your submission by the program committee.
Timing: The system will be ACCESSIBLE ONLY FROM JANUARY 16, 2004 to
FEBRUARY 6, 2004 at this address:
http://www.dgrc.org/dgo2004/papers/?All submissions must be made via
this system.
We will not accept early or late submissions or revisions. *** NO
EXCEPTIONS. ***
If your research paper, poster, demonstration, project highlight, or
Birds-of-a-Feather proposal is accepted for the conference, you will be
granted access to the system once again. You must make final revisions
based on the recommendations of the reviewers and the program
committee. Finally, you must submit a camera-ready copy of your work to
the online submission system.
Format: All submissions must be in .pdf format, 11 point font, in a
serif font such as Times New Roman or Palatino, with 1 inch margin, all
around. Submissions must not exceed the maximum number of pages for
each type of submission, as indicated below.
Research papers (maximum of 10 pages)
These report innovative Digital Government research results, in the
form of a formal scholarly paper. Relevance to digital government
should be made explicit. Authors must identify the research topic(s)
being addressed by the paper to assist the program committee in the
review process.
Student research papers (maximum of 10 pages).
Research papers on any aspect of digital government that are authored
by students alone should be submitted to the Student Session, which
will be chaired by a student. Papers accompanied by system
demonstrations are particularly welcomed; in this case, please submit
both a paper and a demo submission. Student papers will be evaluated by
the students organizing the student session and activities.?The session
will also include time for a discussion of typical graduate student
issues.
Demonstrations (maximum of 2 pages) of digital government projects.
One of the highlights of dg.o conferences is the demonstration
sessions, held in special sessions to the accompaniment of good food.
We invite short papers outlining a system demo. We encourage demos that
accompany papers or project highlights (in which case, please submit
both a system demo description and a paper or project highlight). Each
demo station will have a table, an easel, and Internet access.
Posters (maximum of 2 pages) of digital government projects.
Posters are meant to describe research contributions less substantial
or complete than those described in research papers.
Birds-of-a-Feather proposals (maximum of 2 pages) about a topic of
general interest.
We invite short descriptions of themes for the Birds-of-a-Feather

Government Projects
The National Science Foundation and the Digital Government Research
Center (DGRC) invite you to submit to dg.o2004, the 5th annual National
Conference on Digital Government Research. http://www.dgrc.org/dgo2004
This year, we focus on:
? reflecting on the practical aspects and unique opportunities
presented by digital government research projects, projects that are
inter-disciplinary with the collaboration of government partners,
? highlighting the breadth and depth of current digital government
projects, and
? exploring the nature of digital government research as a new and
growing research area.
Digital government research is interdisciplinary and multi-sector, with
a focus on research at the intersections of computer and information
sciences, IT-related social, political, and behavioral sciences, and
the problems and missions of government agencies. Correspondingly, the
conference attracts researchers in the varied disciplines, government
agencies representatives, policy specialists, business experts,
representatives from the software industry, and members of the public.
New for dg.o 2004:
? A new type of submission - Project Highlight- for active NSF Digital
Government projects to describe their accomplishments, success stories,
broader impact, challenges/barriers, and research value.
? A longer format for formal research papers where the best papers
will be considered for inclusion in either a special issue of an
existing scholarly journal or for a possible new Digital Government
Research Journal currently under discussion. We encourage submission of
papers that advance the emerging field of digital government research.
Note: We expect to invite the best submissions in all categories to an
NSF Digital Government workshop, to be held in the Washington, D.C.
area following the conference.
Formal research papers, posters, demonstrations, and proposals for
Birds-of-a-Feather discussion groups may address any aspect of digital
government research, including but not limited to the following:

Subject: [dgOnline] - New Funding for Digital Preservation Research
Message-ID: <9627609E-BFD1-11D8-9D42-0003938D4D0C@isi.edu>
Dear Colleagues:
I wanted to make you aware of DIGARCH, a new grant program funded by
the Library of Congress in partnership with the National Science
Foundation.
The Digital Archiving and Long Term Preservation program, to be
administered by NSF, will fund cutting-edge research to support the
long-term management of digital information. This effort is part of the
Library?s collaborative program to implement a national digital
preservation strategy. The program will make $2 million in initial
awards using funds from the Library's National Digital Information
Infrastructure and Preservation Program.
The program announcement / call for proposals is here:
http://www.nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?ods_key=nsf04592
You may find a press release with more information on it here:
http://www.nsf.gov/od/lpa/newsroom/pr.cfm?ni=10000000000103

Message-ID: <0D1D246B-C074-11D8-8AD1-0003938D4D0C@isi.edu>
Dear Colleagues:
While we're not in the habit of forwarding items to this list regularly
outside the framework of the monthly newsletter or NSF business, two
opportunities with impending deadlines have come to our attention, and
we wanted to share them with you:
________________________________________________
?
CRI SOLICITATION:
http://nsf.gov/pubsys/ods/getpub.cfm?ods_key=nsf04588
The CISE Directorate recently released a solicitation for Computing
Research Infrastructure (CRI), NSF 04-588.? The CRI program replaces
and expands upon three previous programs:? Minority Institutional
Infrastructure (MII), Research Infrastructure (RI), and Research
Resources (RR).? The most significant new features are that CRI will
support resource development grants in addition to infrastructure
acquisition grants and that personnel may be supported when well
justified.
The CRI program has a much earlier deadline than the earlier programs,
the fourth Monday in August, so interested groups need to get started
preparing proposals.? In addition, letters of intent are required for
large proposals (over $800,000); these are due the fourth Monday in
July.? The earlier dates were chosen for the CRI program in order to
avoid conflicts with the NSF-wide Major Research Infrastructure
program, which has a deadline in January.
If you have questions, please contact Rita Rodriguez, rrodrigu@nsf.gov,
or Darleen Fisher, dlfisher@nsf.gov.

E-CHALLENGES EXHIBITION - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
http://www.echallenges.org/2004/
eChallenges e-2004 features an Exhibition which provides an opportunity
to showcase research results and applications through technology
demonstrations and posters, whether funded commercially, or at
national, or regional or European level. To maximise exposure for
exhibitors, refreshments and lunch will be served in the Exhibition
area.
While some space will be offered for Posters, most of the exhibition
space will be reserved for innovative technology demonstrations.
Participation in the Exhibition is rewarding, as it provides an
opportunity to make international contacts and to build relationships
with potential partners or clients from around the world.
Having a demonstration or poster accepted for the eChallenges
Exhibition will significantly contribute towards exploitation and
dissemination obligations under national, regional and European
research programmes. It provides an invaluable platform to develop
market awareness and receive user feedback from around the world.
The eChallenges Consortium is sponsoring a limited amount of exhibition
space for suitable demonstrations and posters at e-2004 under a
competitive Call for Exhibitors. Potential exhibitors will be selected
based on the quality and relevance of their submission to the
conference themes, with preference given to those presenting innovative
technology demonstrations.
The application form for demonstration stands and poster displays for
eChallenges e-2004 is now available online at
http://www.echallenges.org/2004/default.asp?page=exhibition1.
Applications are accepted up to 31 July and all applicants that apply
through the public call will receive feedback during the week of 09
August. Since the level of competition for available stands is likely
to be high, applicants are advised to clearly state what they are
planning to demonstrate and the value add for the conference delegates.
This year, there will also be an Austrian ICT Village in the Exhibition
area, showcasing Austrian RTD activities. Austrian organisations
interested in participating in the Exhibition will go through a
different application process and interested exhibitors should contact
Isabella Andric, BIT phone: +43-1-260-13-142 e-mail: Andric@bit.ac.at
Exhibition details and Terms and Conditions are provided on the
eChallenges portal. To access the application form, please go the
Exhibition page
http://www.echallenges.org/2004/default.asp?page=exhibition1 and log in
using your username and password. If you have forgotten your password,
click on the "Password Reminder" link on the Home page, enter the
e-mail address you used to set up your profile on eChallenges and you
will automatically receive a reminder of your username and password to
the nominated e-mail
account.

Subject: [dgOnline] - Funding opportunity: Biocomplexity in the Environment
Message-ID:
Dear Colleagues:
Val Gregg at NSF has asked me to encourage all PIs to consider applying
to the NSF grant program entitled "Biocomplexity in the Environment
(BE): Integrated Research and Education in Environmental Systems."
Of special note is a November 17, 2004 deadline, for this component of
the BE program solicitation:
Dynamics of Coupled natural and Human Systems (CNH):
Promoting quantitative, interdisciplinary analyses of relevant human
and natural system processes and the complex interactions among human
and natural systems at diverse scales.
(Quote from the solicitation):
"Proposals may be submitted on any topic associated with the Dynamics
of Coupled Natural and Human Systems. Among
topics that could be appropriate for consideration in the competition
are landscapes and land use; natural capital, ecosystem services, and
social
valuation of the natural environment; maintenance of biodiversity;
propagation and control of invasive species; interplay of the built
environment with other human and natural systems; natural resource use
and conservation; the dynamics of uncertainty; the resilience and
vulnerability of social institutions to environmental change; the
resilience and
vulnerability of biophysical systems to human-generated stresses; and
the role of scientific information in environmental justice."
You can review the complete program solicitation for BE here:
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2003/nsf03597/nsf03597.htm
If we can be of any assistance in your proposals, please let me know.
Best,
m

Message-ID: <860C06D3-47B7-11D9-81F4-0003938D4D0C@isi.edu>
Dear Colleagues:
Ordinarily I would hold these items for the monthly newsletter, which
comes out on the 10th. However, since both are time-sensitive, I
thought it best to forward them to you today:
The latest NSF/CISE/IIS Dear Colleague Letter notifies us of:
-- Changes in deadlines in the NSF/CISE Division of Intelligent and
Integrated Systems;
-- Upcoming deadlines with no change;
-- Information on NSF acceptance rates; and
-- Rotator positions in Intelligent and Integrated Systems
You may read the letter here: http://www.cise.nsf.gov/news/iis_dcl.cfm
The second item concerns a deadline extension in the Call for Papers
for the special issue of IS in Government (of IEEE Intelligent
Systems):
SUBMISSION DATE EXTENDED TO DECEMBER 10
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on IS in Government [of IEEE Intelligent Systems]
Submissions due 3 December 2004
This special issue on Intelligent Systems in Government focuses on the
growing number of digital-government applications that are using, and
are dependent on, AI-based techniques. Digital government can be
broadly defined as the use of information and communication
technologies (ICT) to enable access to government information,
effective delivery of public services, and citizen participation in
governmental activities and decision making. Over the last few years it
has received increasing attention from both government and academic
researchers. Both national and local governments worldwide are
initiating digital-government programs.
This is an exciting and challenging research area, which requires a
novel combination of technical, social, and political measures. As
such, the need exists to recognize the complex processes required to
successfully design and deploy digital-government applications.
Research questions include, but are not limited to, the following:
How can intelligent systems facilitate public discourse among citizens
and between government and all stakeholders? How can they enhance
deliberation on public issues?
How can intelligent systems support government activities such that
they provide trusted and trustworthy user environments?
How can intelligent systems enable digital inclusion, provide more
natural access to government services, or present government
information more intelligibly?
How can intelligent systems enable better information integration and
use, reconciling information across the many tiers of government?
How can intelligent systems enable the planning, design,
implementation, or enforcement of government policy and rules?
This special issue seeks papers on the development and evaluation of
IS-based digital-government initiatives that address these research
challenges. As such, research papers and case study reports are
welcome.
Special Issue Guest Editors
Ann Macintosh, Napier University, Edinburgh
Patrick Winston, MIT
Roger Hurwitz, MIT

Conference on Digital Government Research, May 15 - 18, 2005, in
Atlanta, Georgia. The conference also serves as the annual meeting of
all NSF digital government researchers. This year, we focus on:
* the nature of digital government research as a new
interdisciplinary field that spans computer science and social science,
* the breadth and depth of current digital government projects,
* the unique partnership of university researchers and government
partners, and
* outcomes and impacts of digital government research in the public
sector.
Digital government research is interdisciplinary and multi-sector, with
a focus on research at the intersections of computer and information
sciences, social, political, and behavioral sciences, and the problems
and missions of government agencies. Digital government research
addresses problems in government in all sectors and at any scale -
local, regional, national, and transnational. We invite researchers in
relevant disciplines, government agency representatives, policy
specialists, business experts, representatives from the software
industry, and members of the public to attend, present papers, and
participate in the many activities of this conference.
: : The dg.o2005 Conference
The 2005 National Conference on Digital Government Research includes
paper sessions, panels, demonstrations and poster sessions, and field
trips. The 2005 conference continues its tradition of showcasing
exemplary NSF digital government research projects through the project
highlights presentations. It continues the Birds-of-a-Feather sessions,
which promote informal discussions on emerging digital government
topics. The conference also includes a student-led mini-conference
featuring research papers authored solely by students and reviewed by a
student program committee New for dg.o 2005:
* The dg.o conference is co-located with the IEEE International
Conference on Intelligence and Security Informatics, to be held May 19
-- 20, 2005 (IEEE-ISI 2005, see http://www.ecom.arizona.edu/ISI/).
* Tutorials on a range of topics in the digital government field
will be offered Sunday, May 15 and Wednesday afternoon, May 18.
Tutorials will provide half-day instruction on topics such as
information integration, data sharing in public agencies, or
information security.
* The conference proceedings will appear in the ACM Digital Library
(Association of Computing Machinery, http://acm.org/), one of the major
venues for computer science research. Research papers, demonstration
summaries, poster summaries, and project highlights will be published

Subject: [dgOnline] - Open Letter from Valerie Gregg
Message-ID: <8328120C-4DED-11D9-8EC4-0003938D4D0C@isi.edu>
December 14, 2004
Dear Colleagues and Friends--
I will be leaving my position at the National Science Foundation on
January 31, 2005. Effective that same day, I will be retiring from the
Federal government after 30 years of public service. I?ve had the best
government career one can imagine working for two great agencies?the
United States Bureau of the Census and the National Science Foundation.
Throughout my entire career, I?ve been given the latitude to create new
opportunities for improving government. I?ve worked with many
different communities, government agencies and people from all walks of
life from around the globe. It has been quite exciting, intellectually
stimulating and, dare I say this--fun. I?ve valued the chances I?ve
been given to help solve some of governments? many challenges. I?ve
even managed to live long enough to see some of the resulting
transformations! With the advent of the World Wide Web, the
transformations I?ve been most honored to be part of are ?FedStats? and
the digital government research program.
I?ve been privileged to work at the NSF for the past 8 years, thanks to
the Census Bureau?s willingness to allow me the opportunity to pursue
this vision we now call ?digital government?. The success of the
digital government research program has been a tribute to NSF?s
leadership?to provide the academic research community with resources
and access to real-world government challenges while providing
government leaders with strategic views of future technologies to
enable tomorrow?s e-government solutions. The interdisciplinary nature
of the digital government projects has truly broadened the reach and
impact of this work.
As you know, Larry Brandt and I have worked together as a team while
we?ve managed the program and built this vibrant and growing community
known as ?dgo?. I know Larry will continue to provide excellent
leadership as digital government activities continue to evolve at NSF.
Of course I will miss working with him on a daily basis and the
adventures we?ve shared while building the DG program.
I am very excited about the future. I intend to stay involved in this
important work in various capacities as opportunities present
themselves. Thank you for participation and commitment to the DG
program and for the opportunity you?ve given me to work with you over
the years.
Warm Regards and Happy Holidays-
Valerie
