(Apologies for cross-posts) ----------------------------- The dg.o '17 Beyond Bureaucracy (BB) Track aims to outline and discuss challenges along the boundaries of society, technology, and governance, which reach beyond established e-governance research paths and priorities. The BB-Track invites contributions that discuss pending technological challenges, promotes the economic potentials of disruptive new technological ecosystems, and serves as a platform for pro/con deliberations on BB thought and knowledge. Some corresponding thoughts have been outlined by scholars in BB Volume (http://www.springer.com/de/book/9783319541419) that has been released recently. Moreover, after Vienna, Krems, and Shanghai, BB is comming to the dg.o 2017 in New York! More information regarding dg.o 2017 (18th Annual International Conference on Digital Government Research) is available on conference's official website (http://dgo2017.dgsociety.org/). We're welcoming research papers, works in progress and tutorials that deal with innovation and ideas, which bypass BB and look forward with regard to ICT and governance. All submissions have to be forwarded with the subject "dg'o 17 BB-Track" to both the track chairs: Dr. Alois Paulin, TU Vienna, Austria (alois@apaulin.com <mailto:alois@apaulin.com> ) Dr. Leonidas Anthopoulos, TEI Thessaly, Greece (lanthopo@teilar.gr <mailto:lanthopo@teilar.gr> )
