The 7th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research

“Integrating Information Technology and Social, Behavioral and
Political Sciences Research for Effective Government”

http://dgrc.org/dgo2006

May 21-24, 2006, Southern California

The 7th Annual International Conference on Digital Government  
Research is a forum for the presentation and discussion of  
interdisciplinary research on digital government and its applications  
in diverse domains. Interested participants are invited to submit  
research papers, system demonstrations, posters, and proposals for  
tutorials and workshops for dg.o2006. This year, the conference will  
focus on:

~    Research on digital government as an interdisciplinary domain  
that “encompasses inquiry at the intersections of computing research,  
social,   political, and behavioral science research, and the  
problems and missions of government agencies.” (NSF, 2005)

~      Unique partnerships of university researchers and government  
partners, and

~      Project highlights and outcomes of digital government research.

The conference is sponsored by the U.S. National Science Foundation  
and managed by the Digital Government Research Center (DGRC). This  
conference also hosts the annual Principal Investigators (PIs)  
meeting of Digital Government and Information Technology Research  
(ITR) managed by the NSF’s Digital Government program.
