*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Cloud Infrastructures and Interoperability *

*HICSS 2012 Minitrack*

/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:

1. Development, implementation, maintenance of projects, system and enterprise architectures and infrastructures 2. System, data and process-based integration 3. Information infrastructures, cloud infrastructures, reuse, quality 4. Semantic ontologies, web services and modeling 5. Cloud computing, infrastructures, ICTservices, scalability, reliability, flexibility 6. Software as service (SaaS), utility computing, platform as service, shared services, service providers 7. Cross-organizational modeling and visualization ranging from the organizational to technical level 8. Infrastructure, interoperability and enterprise architecture planning, alignment, strategies and governance 9. Technical, semantic, organizational, managerial aspects of interoperability 10. Organizational and/or policy perspectives on the dynamics of the infrastructure and interoperability process and barriers to interoperability 11. Theoretical contributions and contributions from developing countries 12. Interoperability and architecture standards, principles and frameworks 13. Service-oriented architectures, web services, semantic web services, web service orchestration and composition 14. 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 15. Longitudinal studies that span over generations of e-Government implementations

*Important Deadlines: * June 15.2011: Submit full manuscripts for review. Aug 15.2011: Acceptance notices are emailed to authors by the Review System. Sept 15.2011: Accepted authors submit Final Paper.
