Sommario/riassunto

This e-book brings you a series of articles developed from the papers presented at the first eGovernment Workshop that was held at Brunel University in September 2005. The selection of papers ranges from current empirical studies to theoretical models for future systems development. A theme running across them is the evaluation and planning of systems with the implication that much remains to be achieved in the area of eGovernment.
