Abstract

Model-based approaches are a suitable alternative to cope with the increasing complexity of eServices made available in the last years by eGovernment applications. However, up to now, only a few studies have investigated which are the requirements for notations and tools devoted to support eService modeling. The main goal of this paper is to make a state of knowledge on the specification of user activity and processes in eGovernment eServices. Our results advocated for a hybrid approach for modeling combining task models and process models.
