To be published in the Advances in Electronic Government, Digital Divide, and

Regional Development (AEGDDRD) series.

2.2.1 Introduction

This book deals with the use of advanced ICT technologies in the policy lifecycle and

decision making of governments. The use of ICT support in policy design, modeling

and implementation (“e-Policy”) ensures a two-way communication protocol between

citizens and governments during the whole lifecycle of a policy.

The methods and the ICT tools to support the policy lifecycle have drastically

changed with the emergence of social media, advanced simulation techniques, open

government data, big data, opinion mining, advanced text analytics and visualization,

amongst others.

Within the FP7 research program several projects have focused on different

technologies and use cases. For the first time the “Future Policy Modeling” Project

(FUPOL), a large scale integrated project funded under the 7th framework program

of the European Union, has provided a complete detailed policy lifecycle model,

linked each step to new ICT technologies and explained its benefits for governments,

citizens and other stakeholders. It has also outlined how different available

technologies can be integrated in such a model that fit into ICT-infrastructures of

governments.

2.2.2 Objective of the Book

This comprehensive book aims to be an essential reference source, building on the

available literature, research projects and best practice cases in the field of e-

governance, e-participation and policy modeling. It provides an extensive and

detailed view on various technologies and outlined researches for implementing

future policies with ICT tools.

2.2.3 Target Audience

Researchers, advanced-level students,

6

experts, civil servants, policy makers, politicians on national, regional and city

level,

experts in international organizations and developments banks dealing with

policy design,

NGOs and consulting companies involved in governance, citizen participation,

policy design and implementation projects

Interest groups and associations involved in influencing policy decisions

ICT professionals dealing with e-governance, e-government, e-participation

2.2.4 Recommended topics include, but are not limited to the following:

Contributors are welcome to submit chapters on the following topics related to e-

Governance and Policy Modeling:

E-Governance and Citizen

2.2.5 Submission Procedure

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before June 30, 2013, a

chapter proposal not exceeding one page or 500 words clearly explaining the mission

and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be

notified by July 30, 2013 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter

7

guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by October 30, 2013. All

submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. (see also :
