Abstract Purpose – This paper aims to introduce a European project CEES to develop a standard for the evaluation of Electronic Government (e-Government) services from a citizen satisfaction perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The aim, objectives, methodology, and deliverables of the project CEES are detailed. Furthermore, the challenges of the development of a reference process model in different countries are addressed and academic and practical implications of the project for the citizen-oriented evaluation of e-Government services are discussed. Findings – A reference process model for the evaluation of e-Government services from a citizens’ perspective receives strong support from experiences in other similar areas such as software process and information systems governance. The reference model needs to overcome such challenges as the differences in culture, the maturity of e-Government systems, and citizens-government relationships. Practical implications – The research is expected to trigger international collaboration to develop international standards for the evaluation of e-Government services. Originality/value – The paper contributes to the literature by enriching the views on e-Government services and their evaluation via introducing a reference model concept. The CEES project will be the first attempt to apply the reference model concept in the information systems evaluation domain. Despite the wide adoption of reference models in software process, software design, and business process automation, the concept is yet to be applied to the IS evaluation domain.

Exploring citizens' perception of government to citizen services: A model based on theory of planned behaviour (TBPss)
Kanat, Irfan Emrah; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2009-04-01)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of undertaking a systemic view of evaluating the success of government to citizen (G2C) services and identifying the salient factors related with citizens’ low adoption of G2C services. Design/methodology/approach – The paper adopts a quantitative case perspective and derives a conceptual research model that encompasses various dimensions of e-government that relate to citizen adoption behaviour within the framework of theory of planned be...
Analysis of electronic signature in Turkey from the legal and economic perspectives and the awareness level in the country
İskender, Gökhan; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2006)
As in the case of other information technologies, the best way of obtaining efficient results from electronic signature application is integrating it to the legal and economic systems and increasing the awareness level of technology in the society. This thesis performs the legal and economic analyses of electronic signature in Turkey and measures the awareness level in the society. The analyses performed in the thesis show that electronic signature is not legally established in Turkey even the legal base is...
Evaluating eReverse auctions (EeRA): A case research note
Hackney, Ray; Loesch, Andrea; Irani, Zahir; Ghoneim, Ahmad; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2007-03-01)
Purpose – To evaluate issues relating to the implementation of electronic reverse auctions (eRA) within local government procurement processes. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology is a structured case analysis approach to enable qualitative data to be modelled through a visual toolset simulation. Findings – The paper identifies a set of business scenarios to demonstrate the impact of different eRA strategies in this respect. Practical implications – The case research described in this paper propos...
Planning as/and/in Context: Towards a New Analysis of Context in Interactive Planning
Van Assche , Kristof (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2007-6-01)
In this paper, we propose a revisiting of the concept of context in spatial planning, especially in the analysis of the rapidly growing sector of interactive, collaborative, communicative planning. In interactive planning projects, different stakeholders with different backgrounds, interests, negotiate a plan for an area. Communication, interpretation, and therefore the concept of context, as everything outside the actual communication that influences its meaning, become correspondingly more central to plan...
Implementation of a wireless streaming system for universal multimedia access
Ünal, Halim Ünsem; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
This thesis describes a universal multimedia access system and its implementation details. In the context of this document, universal multimedia access means accessing multimedia content over ubiquitous computer networks, using different computing platforms. The computer networks involve both wired and wireless networks, and computing platforms involve wired PC, mobile PC and personal digital assistants (PDA). The system is built on a client/server architecture. Video data is H.263 coded and carried over RT...
