http://www.ares-conference.eu/conf/ --> Workshops -->DeSeGov 2007

Call for Papers

Many governments have now significant e-government applications that offer more and more the day-to-day services to the citizen. ICT infrastructure has become as important as government offices and its fficials: crucial for the functioning of the state. Modern government is today dependent on its functioning ICT: the systems must be available, reliable, safe, confidential, integer and secure.

The aim of this workshop is to foster a forum for discussing and resenting recent research results on dependability and security in e-Government applications.

Scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art of dependability and security in e-Government are strongly encouraged. Besides, innovative research work in progress and studies of dependability aspects of practical e-Government projects and systems implementation are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following:

. Trust and security: provisions and instruments
. Online availability of public services
. Service survivability and maintainability
. Interoperability of services
. Security in e-democracy (including e-participation and e-voting)
. E-justice (administration and workflow security for legal processes)
. Secure federating information access (from different government and
third party agencies)
. Security and reliability in media integration
. Secure e-government and Identity Management
. Security and reliability of Smart Card System
. Availability and reliability of mobile services
. Data protection and data privacy (e.g. e-health and e-education)
. Intrusion detection and prevention
. Anti-spam legislation and solution
. Public-private- partnerships management
. Role-based management and usage restriction
