Call for Papers

5th Mediterranean Conference on Information Systems (MCIS), to be held in Tel Aviv, Israel, on 12-14 September 2010

Track : Cloud Infrastructures and Interoperability in the Public Sector

 

Objectives

The track aims at providing the latest research findings such as theoretical foundations, principles, methodologies, architectures, technical frameworks, international policy, standardization and case studies for upgrading the infrastructure and achieving interoperability within the provision of digital services from administration and businesses towards the user citizens and enterprises. These findings are organized along the following main areas of contribution:

•         provision of novel research approaches for advancing infrastructure and interoperability, applicable both to public administration and industry, worldwide

•         analysis of the services transformation process and tools, towards one-stop, interoperable digital public services for citizens and businesses

•         presentation of standardization approaches and initiatives for upgrading the infrastructures and interoperability at national, regional and international levels

•         analysis of data interoperability achievements, through transformation and semantic matching methods and tools

Since interoperability is a multi-disciplinary domain, new research challenges are also bound to touch Semantics, Web Service Technologies, Business Process Management and Reengineering, Service Oriented Architectures and Model Driven approaches.

 

Topics

Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Interoperability State of the Art, Methods and Literature Reviews

• Social and Business implications of Interoperability in public administration
