With immergence of technology and growing demand of the society, if appropriately applied, Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) can also leverage the benefit of e-Governance by collaborative resource sharing and service-usage through grid and cloud computing. The underlying goals for adopting e-Governance practices are to ensure improved quality in disseminating education and administration; establish dynamic and need-based communication with various internal, external and peer entities; and conforming to regulations. Grid and cloud can be two candidate frameworks for HEIs governance, which will potentially lower the cost of governance solutions and provide better services. In this paper, the authors propose grid and cloud based e-Governance frameworks for Bangladeshi HEIs. Also a survey is conducted to find perception of various stakeholders about grid and cloud based e-Governance.","PeriodicalId":352305,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130503063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"From e-government strategy to services: challenges of inter-organizational IT governance in Egypt","authors":"R. Klischewski","doi":"10.1145/2691195.2691257","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/2691195.2691257","url":null,"abstract":"IT governance has been identified as a key enabler also for implementing e-government solutions. However, little is known about what 'best practice' of IT governance could mean when applied to an inter-organizational and highly distributed information infrastructure as typical for the public sector. In this paper the case of Egypt is analyzed based on previous investigations and publications, governmental documents, and data collected from a recent project involvement. The main IT governance challenges have been found as: unclear definition of network membership, extensive voluntarism, vague goal orientation, unprotected data resources, absence of financial governance, and the project status of network. Accordingly, lessons to be learned include that (1) creators of a network hub must clarify goal direction, membership responsibilities, performance assessment for all government agencies involved, (2) participating government agencies need to understand, commit to, practice sharing of accountability beyond hierarchy or ownership, (3) countries with little collaboration culture and network experience are better off to rely on accepted dominating actors for managing inter-organizational collaboration hubs in e-government. Based on essential attributes of the required governance process milestones are suggested for improving inter-organizational IT governance while addressing the detected challenges in Egypt and beyond. In conclusion, more research is needed to discuss any fit of inter-organizational IT governance arrangements to a given e-government context. Building on IT governance research related to enterprises, future e-government research can stay aligned and continue to share the lessons learned.","PeriodicalId":352305,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130787557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four key strategies are set forth to include building optimal infrastructure, nurturing vibrant business, be a smart government and capitalizing ICT human resources which emphasize to target to the level of community and local entity in terms of development benefits and gains. Ageing people is among prioritized community to pay attention to thus in the form of e-Ageing development since according to ILO expert, Thailand will become ageing society in full stream in less than 20 years from now. In building optimal infrastructure, highlighted projects such as Free WiFi and provisional internet service are eligible to cater certain ageing communities. In real terms, common devices and platforms to facilitate the elderly are to be encouraged for embracing their lives and works at a certain level of calibrated international standard. In an effort to drive relevant vibrant business, opportunities will rest upon e-Ageing products and services ranging from life-style to healthcare goods and solutions. As for the smart government strategy, smart public service to react to expectation of ageing group of consumers is to be paid of attention as well as promotion of innovated devices and applications made specifically to serve the special needs of the elderly. While at the same time the last ICT development strategy which addresses obviously over human capital development during the five year plan will pave a distinctive channel to accommodate the elderly to succeed ICT literacy for improving their quality of life and work extensively. Through the 5-year ICT master plan, Thailand aims high to drive the country toward \"Digital Society\" in a smart manner, defined in ICT2020 as \"Smart Thailand\". ICT enabled innovations and services for e-Ageing will be prevalent for transforming the country into an incumbent silver society in the next two decades. In an utmost mode of development, the country needs to adapt itself to avoid technological traps by adopting international standard as well as regional collaboration that Thailand already holds its stakes in ASEAN, APEC, IAC and etc. The authors of this paper attempted to conduct an analysis over \"Ageing Society\" which Thailand has been categorized to be transitional into the dilemma among the fast evolving countries. The analysis was limited to an ICT development aspect scanning through the latest version of the country ICT master plan, since ICT, as perceived in the digital society, is an enabling tool for improving quality of life of human kind to date.","PeriodicalId":352305,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128653929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IT governance research has focused on governance within one organization. Therefore we first investigate the theoretical background of inter-organizational governance to understand better the formation of such arrangements. In addition to IT governance and health information governance literature we review resource based view, transaction cost economics and social network theory literature. We take constructs from literature and link them to the IT governance principles and to the benefits of IT cooperation. We then evaluate empirically the perceived significance of those principles and benefits with a case study and an expert survey. The empirical results confirmed that the reviewed literature establishes a solid theoretical basis to describe the formation of inter-organizational IT governance. In the expert survey, all IT governance principles and benefits proved to be important for the formation of the investigated IT governance arrangement. Furthermore, variations in evaluations were not related to demographic, situational or behavioral control variables. Our study supports the use of RBV, TCE and social network theory constructs as augments to prior IT governance constructs.","PeriodicalId":352305,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122235566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We are blessed by the benefits of the information society. New industry has been developed by open data. Promotion of e-Government leads to cost reduction by utilizing cloud computing. On the other hand, by evolution of the information society, we expose ourselves to the threat of viruses and cyber-attack. Under these circumstances, CIOs are responsible for various competencies such as ICT strategies for e-Government, risk management, information assurance and cyber security, ICT budget, ICT investment and compliance. This paper analyzes the new trend of CIO's functions in the aspect of CIO Core Competencies. CIO Core Competencies were identified in the US in 1996. This paper prioritizes CIO Core Competencies and finds that there is a gap between the Core Competencies and real roles of CIOs. As a result CIOs do not play an effective role in their organizations. The methodology of this paper is data analysis of surveys done in 2006, 2009, 2012 and 2014. The 2014 survey on the preferred Core Competencies was conducted in cooperation with George Mason University (GMU) in the US, one of the 6 CIO universities certified by the US Federal Government.","PeriodicalId":352305,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124348657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The elapsed time of a case is the period that is required to handle a case that pertains to a suspect or convict. Long elapsed times may be interpreted as delays in a criminal justice system, which in turn may lead to \"justice delayed, justice denied\". Such a development may undermine the public trust in the government. Therefore insight in elapsed time is of crucial importance for policy-makers to define a sound and healthy justice policy. To gain this insight, we propose a model to measure the elapsed time of criminal cases. The task of measuring elapsed times in the justice domain is not straightforward. Some challenges have to be taken into account before elapsed time can be measured. These include the type of case that is being processed, choosing the starting and finishing point of a criminal case, and integrating data pertaining to a criminal case from different sources. We propose a pragmatic approach to measuring elapsed times, which takes these challenges into account. As an example, we show how the elapsed times of criminal cases in the execution phase of the justice system can be calculated. This example also illustrates the effect of two different calculation methods on the measured elapsed times.","PeriodicalId":352305,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132490530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
