Campus Center, Room 226 Rutgers
CIMIC has been actively involved in digital government efforts since its
inception.CIMIC's research and
development efforts in digital government have been supported by several
New Jersey government agencies and, most recently, by the National Science
Foundation.A recent NSF funded
project initiated the latest digital government effort aimed at automating
the services provided by state agencies.Working
in collaboration with Columbia University, the University of Maryland Baltimore
County and the NJ State Office of Information Technology (OIT), the current
effort is centered on automating the business registration process with
the State.Our "human-centered e-government
portal'' guides entrepreneurs and make the entire process transparent by
employing customized workflow technology. In
addition to these activities, CIMIC has been collaborating with the Hackensack
Meadowlands Development Commission since 1995, a state agency charged with
balancing preservation and development of a 32-square-mile district in
northern NJ.A portion of this collaborative
effort has culminated in a web-based information system called "digital
meadowlands."This system integrates
data from a variety of sources including satellite and aerial imagery,
GIS data, automated monitoring data and traditional databases. In
this E-Government event, Rutgers CIMIC and its collaborators will present
their contributions to these and other digital government projects including
research, innovative technologies and prototype as well as working systems. Agenda 10:15am
