CALL FOR PAPERS

Track: Strategic and Competitive Use of Information Technology (SCIS)
Mini-track: Strategic and Competitive Applications of Cloud Computing

Description: As companies seek to gain profitability and reduce costs, many are turning to cloud computing.  Cloud computing provides the opportunity for strategic and competitive advantages by providing benefits such as high and rapid scalability, fault-tolerant services, and low-cost computing to the consumers and low maintenance cost to the providers.  Despite the benefits, cloud computing users are concerned about security and privacy issues such as data leakage, and cloud computing infrastructure tampering.
This mini-track invites researchers who explore the strategic and competitive application of cloud computing to submit empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and case-based research studies.  Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

*    Social Networks and Cloud Computing
*    Mobile Cloud Computing
*    Data management in Cloud Computing
*     Factors facilitating the adoption of Cloud Computing.
*     Economics of Cloud Computing.
*     Marketing strategies for Cloud Computing services.
*     Security and privacy for Cloud Computing services.
*     Cloud Computing services: risk assessment methodologies for organizations.

*     Design of effective information system policies for Cloud Computing.
*     New business models for Cloud Computing.
*     International and national legal framework for Cloud Computing services.
*     Cloud computing as a form of "green computing".
