"E-Government: Using New Technologies to Better Protect the Public" The International Conference on e-Government (ICEG 2009) invites researchers, practitioners and academics to present their research findings, work in progress and conceptual advances in any branch of e-Government. The conference provides an opportunity for people with like-minded and different perspectives to come together to gain an understanding of real-world e-government issues and to discuss ways to put research into practice. To achieve this goal, we are inviting researchers and practitioners from around the world to submit their research findings and new ideas, and for practitioners to demonstrate actual products and applications. Please read the Call for Papers and Demonstrations for further details. Abstract submissions and demonstration proposals are due on 26 March, 2009. In its 5th year, the 2009 conference is being held in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Suffolk University founded in 1906 has a proud tradition in law. Boston has a lot to offer the visitors. As the region's hub, Boston is home to nearly 590,000 residents, many institutions of higher education, some of the world's finest inpatient hospitals, and numerous cultural and professional sports organizations. Boston-based jobs, primarily within the finance, health care, educational, and service areas, numbered nearly 660,000 in 2002. Millions of people visit Boston to take in its historic neighborhoods, attend cultural or sporting events, and conduct business. We look forward to welcoming you to the conference, which provides the opportunity for academics, researchers and practitioners from all countries to get together, to network and exchange ideas on this fast evolving e-service, the e-Government.
