eJETA: The Electronic Journal for E-Commerce Tools and Applications
Special Issue on Interoperability for Enterprises and Administrations Worldwide
webpage: http://www.eJETA. org
Guest Editors: Yannis Charalabidis, Hervé Panetto, Euripidis Loukis, and Kai Mertins
Interoperability has emerged as one of the most vivid research areas in electronic business and electronic governance, promising a dramatic increase in productivity and efficiency of information systems, enterprises and administrations. During the last few years, research and practice worldwide has shown that enhancing interoperability among organizations, systems or software applications is a
multi-disciplinary issue, touching upon processes, data and technical standardization. Fortunately, researchers and practitioners have started to realize the impact of interoperability in achieving true one-stop service provision for citizens and businesses, fostering collaboration between enterprises or in minimizing the needed investment for maintaining complex systems.
The purpose of this special issue is to bring together researchers and practitioners investigating the organizational, semantic and technical aspects of interoperability in the worlds of e-business and e-governance. The issue also targets novel approaches for achieving interoperability of organizations and systems in an international environment. Approaches using new methods could be applied both by
enterprises and administrations, exploiting the commonalities, while respecting the peculiarities or each domain. We welcome papers that convey new research ideas on interoperable information systems as well as experience papers that justify their findings through solid experiments.
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
o Peer-to-peer and server-based collaboration architectures
o Process and workflow execution models
o Collaborative process modeling
o Data and semantics modeling for interoperability
o Organizational interoperability approaches
o National or international interoperability frameworks
o Ontologies for matching business or administration data
o Ontology development and querying for interoperability
o Data and service modeling for collaboration
o Service composition and integration
o Web Services specification and standardization
o Quality-driven data and service integration
o Data and service registries development
o Impact assessment models for interoperability
o Legal issues affecting B2B or G2G interoperability
