Every year ITAPA brings information on latest trends in GIS. In previous years we followed implementation of INSPIRE European directive and definition of spatial information infrastructure in Slovakia. This is necessary for development of new applications and services in public administration. This year we focus on practical solutions and applications not only on national level but also on regional and municipal level and combine them with foreign inspirations.

Executive institutions have launched in Slovakia long expected e-Health initiative for transformation of healthcare services. Pilot applications and services are under preparation. The second generation of them will be presented in the autumn. E-Health is one of the most dynamic areas. The session tends to react on current issues in Slovakia and bring inspiration and innovative projects from abroad.

The concept of Cloud Computing is becoming familiar more and more also in public administration. The session will present examples of available services, use of cloud computing in e-Government solutions, and benefits of this model in comparison with current trend of data centers. Additionally we will talk also about risks and challenges of cloud computing in e-Government.
