*Emerging Topics in Digital Government Mini-track*

https://hicss.hawaii.edu/tracks-58/digital-government/#emerging-topics-in-digital-government-minitrack

This minitrack provides a home for incubating new topics and emergent 
technologies in Digital Government research. Digital Government as an 
academic field has evolved and matured over more than two decades. While 
many subjects have become foundational, the field is also substantially 
shaped by ever evolving new directions of research and practice. The 
developments take place at the crossroads of different academic 
disciplines and in close connection to the practices in governments 
around the globe. This mini-track invites papers positioned in relation 
to the foundations of Digital Government and contributing to the 
evolution of the field, to clarifications and conceptualizations, or to 
addressing novel issues, innovative trends, and emerging technologies.

Submissions must specifically tackle the emerging nature of a technology 
or a specific topic and how the research presented builds new 
understanding. Submitted research needs also to relate to the central 
developments in the field of Digital Government. Topics and research 
areas include, but are not limited, to:

  * Emergent technologies and Digital Government
  * Digital transformation and agile government practices
  * Digital identity ecosystems in Digital Government
  * Digital Twins and other computational models in Government
    decision-making
  * Large Language Models (LLM) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in
    Digital Government
  * Metaverse in Digital Government
  * Design Science in Digital Government
  * Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLT) in Digital
    Government: applications, legislation, benefits and risks
  * Internet of Things (IoT) in the public sector: applications,
    regulation, social impact, security and data analytics
  * Cross-border Digital Government / Interoperable Digital Government
  * Business Process Management (BPM) and Rapid Process Automation (RPA)
    in Digital Government
  * Ethics of Digital Government from theoretical and practical views,
    privacy concerns, and the right to know
  * Participatory approaches in government such as co-creation,
    co-production, and crowdsourcing
  * Potential threats from technology-enabled government and ways to be
    protected
  * Legal implications towards Next Generation Digital Government
  * Digital Government skills and competences
  * Data sharing within the Public Sector, and beyond, including Private
    Sector and Civil Society
  * Conceptual and practice-based boundaries and foundations of the
    field of Digital Government
  * Other topics as appropriate to the purposes of the mini-track

The papers submitted to this minitrack must be new and unpublished. We 
welcome papers from different settings and sectors in digital government 
and look more for innovative and creative analyses than best practices. 
We also give precedence to strong conceptual and empirical analysis 
(both qualitative and quantitative) over descriptive cases or opinion 
pieces.
