CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS
Chapter Proposal Submission Deadline: July 15, 2012 (deadline extended)
Design, Development, and Use of Secure Electronic Voting Systems
A book edited by
Dr. Dimitrios Zissis (University of the Aegean, Greece)
and Dr. Dimitrios Lekkas (University of the Aegean, Greece)

We would like to invite you to contribute manuscripts for consideration and publication in “Design, Development, and Use of Secure Electronic Voting Systems”, a forthcoming edited book which is scheduled for publication by IGI Global in 2013. This publication shall attempt to evaluate whether or not the field of electronic voting has reached a stage of relative maturity due to the intense research and scrutiny that has occurred in the field over recent years. For almost two decades now, countries across the globe, have been conducting trials and holding pilots to evaluate the benefits and detriments of electronic voting in an asynchronous and decentralized manner. In some countries, electronic voting has been successfully deployed while others have decided to completely abandon these projects. This publication shall attempt to shed light on the field and provide a concise analysis on the successes, but most critically, the failures encountered during these years. A methodological analysis of experiences shall lead to the development of a design framework, with recommendations of considerations that can assist in decisions regarding deployment choices, but also system features, prerequisites and requirements.
We are currently inviting prospective authors to submit their manuscript proposals for peer review. Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before July 09 2012, a 1-2 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Proposals should be sent as doc or pdf files to “dzissis@aegean.gr”. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by July 15, 2012 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by September 30, 2012. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Accordingly, this call for book chapters will assemble an edited collection of chapters covering various aspects of electronic voting, but with emphasis on design and development in respect to security.
