A good health rescue system is primarily based on a good emergency management. Therefore, physicians in general and mobile ones in particular have to react promptly and efficiently to save human lives and help people with serious or life-threatening conditions especially if they are called to treat them far from medical institutions. Taking effective and swift actions to reach the patient and/or the medical institution in time may help to reduce serious problems, and consequently improve the chances of patient cure and/or survival that present the primary concern of the physician. To overcome the emergency management limits of nowadays, this paper propose a medical assistance system based on ontologies that manage and exploit the large and rapidly growing volume of medical data in order to facilitate the on road decision making for the mobile physician. This work, more than determining the nearest health care institution, answers to the physician needs to distinguish whether the closest health care institution have the necessary medical resources (Equipments, services, staff etc.) and whether these resources are available to fulfill the patient needs.

Various organizations, such as those active in business or in politics, capture, store, and analyze data gathered from heterogeneous, distributed, and sometimes autonomous information sources including social media, classical and Web databases, multimedia files, localization raw data, etc. Big data is a term used to describe such kind of data having high volume, velocity, and variety features. It involves innovative technologies, such as pervasive and cloud computing ones, used to enhance decision making, provide vision, discovery, and backing to improve business processes and actions on the ground. The latent value of big data analytics is prodigious and clearly recognized by a rising number of studies such as topics related to politics. The tutorial will focus, in general, on big data and related analytics rising topics, and, in particular, on big data studies performed in the modern democracy era. Modeling and analysis approaches will be discussed, and various cases of election big data, including experiences performed in old democracies such in the United States, Canada, and the new ones such in Tunisia, will be presented.

This paper reviews the piecemeal introduction of internet voting in a highly federalised political setting, Switzerland. We trace the processes leading to the implementation of internet voting and the network of actors involved in its governance. In the empirical analysis we report usage patterns and take stock of what we know about the individual and socio-demographic profiles of internet voters.

New tools within the e-Justice field are emerging helped by advances in technology as well as the social changes given by the Information & Knowledge Society, but the judiciary is often considered as a conservative field, traditionally very formalized and pre-established, where legal actors have rigid roles to interact. Electronic justice is an essential part of e- Administration within the justice field for shaping a modern public administration of justice, and openness in public services is becoming more and more a key concept. In this paper, we show a projection of these concepts in a new software introduced as a real case, deployed and put into operation in a court of last instance. A closer and more citizen-centric approach has been the starting point for development and can be a model for promoting research in e-justice for all audiences, experts and amateurs. This work provides an innovative vision of e-justice ICT based on the concept of closer to citizens as a key element in the development of ICT in legal issues. For this purpose the factors that make electronic justice is introduced, putting in context the research in the legal field and how a more open justice with the citizen as the first requirement for a judicial system can be considered. Finally a real implementation is presented.

Summary form only given. Governments have initiated and expanded open data policies at the municipal, state, and national levels. While these policies spark the promise of transparency, an open data program is an effective gateway to a larger data and technology strategy. Governments can use portals to convene a tech community consisting of entrepreneurs, professionals in information technology from large enterprises, and civic activists. The blend of the technology components and grassroots culture is necessary for governments to function as a platform. Yet, open data can achieve more than transparency and GaaP services. By leveraging open data and applying the principles of open access and open science, governments can collaborate with external researchers to implement analytic, stochastic research models that improve the efficiency of city operations and help advise on data-driven policy. Governments can leverage technologies such as open source software and distributed version control to share research with others, inviting review through reproducible research and also inviting improvements. In order to be successful, there must be a alignment between the governments internal technology stack and it's edifice to the public. We will discuss lessons from building a broad data strategy inclusive of open data, advanced analytics a la open science, internal technology systems, and necessary culture to iterate toward an collaboration between governments, the public, researchers, and private enterprise.?

Collaboration of autonomous and specialized actors in value networks makes special demands on the joint use of knowledge resources. On the one hand, the actors wants to protect their competitive knowledge during the cooperation within the network. On the other hand, the distribution of knowledge must be ensured within the network in develop potentials for value co- creation. Based on a description model for an interconnected and open value creation this article discusses the conflict of objectives between the protection of knowledge and the availability of knowledge within a value creation network. Furthermore, a concept for inter-organizational cooperation is introduced which fosters the depth of cooperation and interaction between the actors within the network establishing save spaces for knowledge exchange and a common development of knowledge.

This paper presents the technical background and functionality of a meta-application (meta-app) for cognitive cities. The app enhances communication and thereby facilitates egovernance. This paper focuses on a user-centered implementation of the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) by presenting its technical specifications in relation with cognitive cities. For didactical reasons, a use case from the user perspective is included. Finally the findings are summed up and future work is presented.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the desire by citizens to participate in public decision-making. This has led to the emergence of numerous participatory processes across the world. A participatory process may be described as a set of participatory common tasks satisfying certain constraints. The design of such processes may become a complex task for inexperienced individuals. We develop an architecture to support distributed decision making that allows for executing most participatory processes available and propose a method to design participatory processes filling only a simple form allowing its further modification through a graphical interface. To do this we rely on business process management systems, using the BPM standard notation (BPMN).

Civil society organizations (CSOs) are investing in new technologies and are increasingly working in networks and coalitions (such as Open Parliament, Open Contracting and Open Government) to develop standards for effective accountability through transparency and disclosure. These initiatives hold the promise of transforming the way government and societies work together to improve governance. There is therefore an opportunity to better support those governments seeking to commit to transparency through international eGovernment initiatives. Similarly, there is an opportunity to leverage the increased understanding of the role of technology including the public release of government data in enhancing disclosure and public access to information, and to build the capacity of the CSOs to connect best practice with transparency reforms. However, in line with the vision of open government, the benefits to citizens should always take precedence over other returns when designing and developing software systems, and this involves new and innovative software architectures.
