A Distributed Architecture for Supporting e-Government Cooperative Processes

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 3416))

Abstract

In the last few years the e-Government discipline has attracted a growing attention both from practitioners and academics. Although the high number of action plan, projects and conferences spread all over Europe seems sanctioning the achievement of its maturity stage, several organizational and technological issues related with the modernization of service delivery are still far from a comprehensive solution and still require significant efforts. In this paper, the approach followed and the results so far achieved within the Eu-Publi.com research project, are presented. The discussion on the conceptual and design architectures of the Eu-Publi.com distributed, peer-to-peer system is enriched with results about the experimentation conducted on one of its core components.
