Aims and Objectives

  
 


 


 

 

 


Electronic government refers to the use of the Internet and related
technologies by federal and state governments for purposes of exchanging
information and providing services and transactions for individuals,
businesses and other entities. Over the years, paper-based transactions,
services and information exchanges involving the government have moved to
the Internet platform, allowing easier accessibility and interactions for
individuals and companies. This resulted in speedy development of the
e-government concept on a global basis. Web-based platforms allowed
individuals to electronically file their taxes, apply for services and
grants, learn information on government-related issues and take advantage of
a high number of additional services offered. With the ubiquity of cell
phones and other mobile devices, the mobile platform offers a new domain for
e-government to thrive. Voice and data communication technologies of mobile
devices offer services for individuals regardless of where they are and when
they would want or need the services. While electronic and mobile government
concepts are rapidly evolving, a number of usability and privacy issues
require research to ensure secure, easy-to-conduct transactions. The goal of
this Special Issue on Usability and Privacy Issues in Electronic and Mobile
Government is to address concerns involving privacy and usability as well as
additional issues within the broad user-related scope as they relate to
electronic and mobile government. At this age of rapid growth in electronic
and mobile commerce, the Special Issue will be a timely contribution to
government entities, private entities and users alike to make transactions,
information exchanges and services easier to be completed in a more
effective, user-friendly, efficient and secure manner.

The special issue provides a global forum for presenting authoritative
references, academically rigorous research and case studies in both
theoretical development and applied research. The purpose of the special
issue is to discuss the effective and timely development of state-of-the-art
electronic and mobile government platforms to accelerate the popularity of
these concepts in every layer of society. Specifically, this issue intends
to disseminate research and studies in the emerging electronic and mobile
government platforms from users' perspectives and develop techniques and
solutions that directly address difficulties currently encountered in these
platforms.
