<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Within the 47th Hawaiian International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), a minitrack on Open data, Interoperability and Cloud services in the Public Sector is organized. The 47th HICSS, one of the most prominent
Conferences on Information Sciences worldwide, will be held on January 6-9, 2014, in Big Island, Hawaii (</span><a href="http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:windowtext">http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu</span></a><span lang="EN-GB"> ).</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span lang="EN-GB">Public organizations are releasing their data to the public, developing, sharing and sourcing their services and taking advantage of the cloud. Public systems are more and more connected with
each other and with systems of others resulting in a spaghetti of interconnected systems. All these efforts require information sharing and interoperability to ensure that systems work in concert. Moreover decisions concerning the development, operation and
maintenance of services and hosting of the services in the cloud should be made. All these developments impacts the technical, organizational, managerial and strategic level. Yet it is unclear what should be done and what the impact is. This minitrack is aimed
at discussing theories, methodologies, experience reports, literature and case studies in the field of open data, interoperability and cloud services.
