Mini-track: Strategic and Competitive Applications of Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is considered to be one of the major advances in computing and emerging to be a hot topic for both practitioners and academia. Cloud Computing offers several opportunities inclusive of high and rapid scalability, low-cost computing, fault-tolerant services, ability to deal with big data [2]. Given the promises of cloud computing, Gartner Research expects cloud computing market to be a $150 billion business by 2014[1]. Despite its growing prominence, there are still several issues such as security, which are hampering the rapid adaption of Cloud Computing.

This mini-track solicits empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and case-based research studies that seek to explore the strategic and competitive applications of cloud computing. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

*             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.
*             Cloud Computing IT governance strategies.
*             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".
*             Using Cloud Computing as a part of an organization's competitive strategy.
*             Cloud Computing and Digital Divide
*             Clouding Computing and education.
