CALL FOR PAPERS
Cloud Infrastructures and Interoperability
Y. Charalabidis, M. Janssen, O.Glassey
Within the 45th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organise a minitrack on Cloud Infrastructures and Interoperability in the Public Sector. The 45th HICSS, one of the most prominent Conferences on Information Sciences worldwide, will be held on January 4-7, 2012, in Maui, Hawaii.
This minitrack is aimed at discussing theories, methodologies, experience reports, literature and case studies in e-government infrastructures and interoperability. We solicit for papers covering a variety of aspects and combining theory and practice. papers in the field of e-government induced data-and process-based integration, information exchange, enterprise architecture, cloud computing, ICT-(shared) services and Software as a Service (SaaS) are strongly encouraged. We promote a diversity of research methods to study the challenges of this multifaceted discipline focusing on various aspects of interoperability and also theoretical papers and papers from developing countries.
Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
- Development, implementation, maintenance of projects, system and enterprise architectures and infrastructures
- System, data and process-based integration
- Information infrastructures, cloud infrastructures, reuse, quality
- Semantic ontologies, web services and modeling
- Cloud computing, infrastructures, ICTservices, scalability, reliability, flexibility
- Software as service (SaaS), utility computing, platform as service, shared services, service providers
- Cross-organizational modeling and visualization ranging from the organizational to technical level
- Infrastructure, interoperability and enterprise architecture planning, alignment, strategies and governance
- Technical, semantic, organizational, managerial aspects of interoperability
- Organizational and/or policy perspectives on the dynamics of the infrastructure and interoperability process and barriers to interoperability
- Theoretical contributions and contributions from developing countries
- Interoperability and architecture standards, principles and frameworks
- Service-oriented architectures, web services, semantic web services, web service orchestration and composition
- Best practices and case studies at all levels of government, including local and transnational government-Longitudinal studies that span over generations of e-Government implementations
- Longitudinal studies that span over generations of e-Government implementations
