Electronic Government
Minitrack:
E-Government Infrastructure and Interoperability
E-government efforts have facilitated the information and services
available on the Web, and have been fueling the information
sharing and collaborations across governmental units and
organizations. The sharing and collaboration requires vertical and
horizontal interoperability and integration of government
operations and infrastructures providing the facilities for
sharing and communicating. Creating interoperability faces many
technical, organizational, managerial and strategic challenges.
Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse
systems and organizations to work together. Infrastructures are
public and quasi-public utilities and facilities that are
typically used by large numbers of different users, such as the
Internet and libraries. The way infrastructures are used typically
changes over time in a process of evolution and adaptation. The
ability of information and service harvesting, discovery, sharing,
dissemination, management, preservation, can be facilitated with
the interoperable infrastructure.
This minitrack will provide e-Government researchers the
opportunity to exchange theories, methodologies, experience
reports, literature and case studies in infrastructure and
interoperability. Interoperability research range from the
technical to organizational, policy and strategic levels and we
solicit for papers covering these aspects. Papers in the field of
e-Government induced data-and process-based integration,
enterprise architecture and transformation, which are also
beneficial to practitioners or have a strong relationship with
practical problems and case studies, 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 reuse, information quality, ontologies and semantic
modeling
-
Cross-organizational modeling and visualization ranging from the
organizational to technical level
-
Infrastructure and enterprise architecture planning, alignment,
strategies and governance
-
Infrastructure facilities and interorganizational development
projects
-
Technical, semantic, organizational, managerial aspects of
interoperability
-
Design and application of architectures and infrastructures for
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 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
