Abstract:

This paper presents an e-Government Framework that allows cooperation among applications belonging to different Government Agencies in order to supply new added value services (event of life services) tailored to citizens and business needs. Moreover, it promotes an internal process reengineering made by integrating governmental legacy applications. This cooperative framework is based on the Enterprise Service Bus model and Web Services technology. In the paper we describe the architecture of the prototypical framework and a case study of a single desk for businesses. In the end we present some relevant conclusions about the opportunity of implementing such a framework by governmental agencies.
