Service Oriented Architecture in e-Gov
General Introduction
The importance of E-Government for the highly evolved and technology-based societies of today is apparent. More and more documents of every kind exist only in their electronic form and are shared through similar means. In a lot of cases even the physical presence of the involved parties isn’t required. Despite all of this, practical implementations of E-Government are lacking.
Service Oriented Architectures are considered to be the new paradigm for developing flexible and dynamic software solutions by using loose coupling of services with operating systems, programming languages and other components of various platforms.The integration of these interoperable services around a business process allows systems development in environments that have continuously changing requirements.In order to achieve this kind of adaptability and customization to almost every situation and the ever-changing needs of the customers/users, a characteristic which is highly requested in the E-Government field, we have to concentrate on discovering new ways and structing new sets of tenets to abide by for developing software systems that will be compatible with the open world assumption and thus able to perform even in the most competitive real-life environments.
