For the past four years the
European Science Foundation programme
Towards Electronic
Democracy (TED) has focused on the development of methods to
address societal issues via the WWW and favour e-participation
using the methodologies of modern decision analysis and support
to involve citizens and stakeholders in the actual process of
decision making: a true step towards e-democracy rather than the
e-administration techniques that, by and large, have been
emphasised by e-government initiatives. At TED's heart is a
vision to develop methodologies which enable multiple decision
analyses to be communicated, explored and, indeed, built over
the WWW, thus providing the mechanism by which stakeholders may
be drawn more closely into the decision making process.
This conference occurs at the end of TED's funding cycle and aims
both to reflect on progress over the project and to set future
research agendas.
