Theme: "Emerging Trends"

This year, we focus on:

    * the nature of digital government research as a new interdisciplinary field that spans computer science and social science
    * the unique collaborations between university researchers and their government partners
    * the breadth and depth of current digital government projects
    * outcomes and impacts of digital government research in the public sector

The 2005 National Conference on Digital Government Research includes paper sessions, panels, live system demonstrations, tutorials, International Workshops and poster sessions, and field trips. The 2005 conference continues its tradition of showcasing exemplary NSF digital government research projects through the project highlights presentations. It continues the Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, which promote informal discussions on emerging digital government topics. The conference also includes a student-led mini-conference featuring research papers authored solely by students and reviewed by a student program committee.
