2. eGov-Bus, Project 1st year review Plan of the presentation: The eGov-Bus system definition & objectives The eGov-Bus Consortium The eGov-Bus system architecture State of the eGov-Bus project Technical Deliverables

3. eGov-Bus definition The eGov-Bus is a dynamically adaptable information system supporting life events experienced by the citizen or business serviced by European government organizations.

4. The eGov-Bus goal The goal of eGov-Bus is to integrate and extend research and standards in the area of process and content management for government and cross-government systems, with the capability of creating advanced applications of electronic signature enhancing acceptance of the technology and establishing trusted system validity and non-repudiation, relying on web services, process and repository management platforms based on a highly secure, highly available, scalable and distributed architecture providing data access abstraction.

The eGov-Bus project consortium Rodan Systems S.A. – Project Co-ordinator - Poland Axway - France Dauphine University - France European Microsoft Innovation Centre – Germany Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology – Poland Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration – Poland Secure Information Technology Centre – Austria University of Uppsala - Sweden

6. eGov-Bus Objectives (1) To define an architecture that will provide the right level of abstraction for data access, process execution and data presentation with the appropriate security To research and develop a framework that provides appropriate open interfaces for the governments at the European, national, federal or local level so they can easily link-up to. To research, develop and enhance qualified signature existing mechanisms to provide better user trust and acceptance of the system, through specific cross-government boundaries.

7. eGov-Bus Objectives (2) To abstract data access via the use of virtual repositories and present it as web services with the appropriate secure, scalable and available distributed architecture. To design and develop a workflow process generator to trigger appropriate life-events exposed as combined web services. To prototype all abstract concepts on selected link-layer technologies and platforms. To validate the architecture and the prototype implementations. To provide results where cost-effective metrics and efficient methods are described for re-use purposes.
