AIMS AND GOALS OF THE WORKSHOP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main goal of this workshop is to bring researchers and practitioners together to
explore the issues and challenges related to the development of usable and accessible
user interfaces for e-Government applications using innovative Information and
Communication Technology (ICT). DEGAS’2009 is the second in a series of work-shop
organized at IFIP TC 13 Interact conference focused on User Interface for e-Government
applications. The present edition addresses the emergence of ubiquitous platforms and
the multiple points of access to e-Government applications. In particular, we are
concerned by case studies, theories, applications, and design and evaluation methods for
ubiquitous e-Government applications that are committed with the universal access by
citizens. This workshop is intended for anyone (researchers and practitioners) who is
concerned about the design of interfaces that will be accessible and usable. This includes
representatives from administrations, academia (e.g., lecturers in HCI), and policy-
making organizations. We want to facilitate discussion on the topics related to the design
and evaluation of ubiquitous e-Government applications, requirements and constraints for
the development of e-Government applications, user experience with e-Government
services, user involvement into the development process, universal ac-cess, policies for
implementing accessibility and usability culture into government agencies. Expected
outcomes for this workshop include a review of trends and cur-rently available solutions
for the design and evaluation of User Interfaces of e-Government applications and a
research agenda for further developments in the field.
We invite participants to present case studies, approaches and reflections on (but not
limited to) the following topics:
· Identification of the diversity of users (e.g. citizens, stakeholders, etc)
· User Interface requirements and constraints for of e-Government applications
· User experience with e-Government services
· User involvement into the development process
· Accessibility and universal access design
· Public policies for implementing accessibility and usability culture into governmental
and third parties agencies developing e-government applications
· Quality models for measuring the quality of e-Government user interfaces
· Methods for user interfaces design for e-Government
· Successes and failures stories of e-Government user interfaces
· Recommendations for public Web sites
· Innovative use of ICT technologies including (but not limited to) instant messaging
(i.g. MSN), GPRS, interactive TV, tracking systems, road traffic management and
regulatory enforcement, etc.
This workshop is officially supported by the IFIP WG13.3 on HCI and disability.

SUBMISSION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This workshop is intended for anyone (researchers and practitioners) who is concerned
about the design of interfaces that will be accessible and usable. This will include
representatives from administrations, academia (e.g., lecturers in HCI), and policy-
making organizations. The desired number of participants is between 10 and 20. We
invite participants to present their approaches and reflections on the topics mentioned
above. Papers will be screwed by an international committee who will select papers
according to: evidence of experience working with HCI and e-Gov and technical
contribution to the field interest. Both full papers describing completed work (up to 5,000
words) and position papers describing work in progress (up to 2,000 words) are welcome.
Papers should be written in English and adhere to the Springer LNCS (Lecture Notes in
Computer Science) format, as a PDF file. Contribution Papers should be sent via the
Conference review systems Web site at http://ihcs.irit.fr/degas2009/. Authors should also
provide in their submission a short summary of their experience in the field and the
motivation to participate on this workshop.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PUBLICATION
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accepted papers including discussions and results will be published in a volume featuring
workshop proceedings. We will invite the best paper presented at the workshop to
submitted extended versions of it to a special issue in an international journal in the
field.
