Workshop “Dependability and Security in e-Government” (DeSeGov 2006)

Workshop “Dependability and Security in e-Government” (DeSeGov 2006)

Vienna, April 20th -22nd 2006

in conjunction with The First International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security ( ARES 2006 )

Call for Papers

Many governments have now significant e-government applications that offer more and more the day-to-day services to the citizen. ICT infrastructure has become as important as government offices and its officials: crucial for the functioning of the state. Modern government is today dependent on its functioning ICT: the systems must be available, reliable, safe, confidential, integer and secure.

The aim of this workshop is to foster a forum for discussing and presenting recent research results on dependability and security in e-Government applications. Scientific rigor and discussions of state of the art of dependability and security in e-Government are strongly encouraged. Besides, innovative research work in progress and studies of dependability aspects of practical e-Government projects and systems implementation are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, although not limited to, the following:

• Trust and security: provisions and instruments
• Online availability of public services
• Service survivability and maintainability
• Interoperability of services
• Security in e-democracy (including e-participation and e-voting)
• E-justice (administration and workflow security for legal processes)
• Secure federating information access (from different government and third party agencies)
• Security and reliability in media integration
• Secure e-government and Identity Management
• Security and reliability of Smart Card System
• Availability and reliability of mobile services
• Data protection and data privacy (e.g. e-health and e-education)
• Intrusion detection and prevention
• Anti-spam legislation and solution
• Public-private- partnerships management
• Role-based management and usage restriction
