A Comparative Study of the e-Government Architectures | 2005-08-23 03:00:03 |
|
| |
Electronic Government reflects the ultimate visions for public administrations and governments to make change. However, e-Government is not a simple on-line information provision. It requires an evolutionary and comprehensive architecture to avoid unnecessary duplication of infrastructure and major components and to integrate disparate processes, services and activities located outside administrations. This paper aims at studying, analysing and comparing the European One Stop Government architecture, the British e-Service Development Framework, the US Federal Enterprise Architecture, the Enterprise Information Portals and the Enterprise Application Integration.

Exposing Semantic Web Service Principles in SOA to Solve EAI Scenarios | 2005-07-26 03:00:02 |
|
| |
Traditional Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) focuses on the integration of application interfaces by pipelining different middleware technologies like message queuing or remote method invocations. Web Service enabled Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) used in EAI were a step towards providing an abstraction layer for the involved interfaces by using the Web Service Description Language (WSDL). The major focus of the paper is to point out the potentials current SWS technology offer for EAI.

OSS/BSS Re-Engineering: The Telecom New Zealand Case | 2005-10-11 03:00:02 |
|
| |
The old distinctions between OSS and BSS are no longer useful. Successful re-engineering of support systems requires a recognition that "Profile" is the key architectural interface between the systems that support business processes and the systems that support service delivery in a user-centric broadband network. The Telecom New Zealand experience illustrates not only the importance of a centralized profile repository, but also the need to aggressively move towards a hub-and-spoke application architecture based on a carefully considered "functional" enterprise data model. The paper also examines how Telecom New Zealand is challenging the traditional telco thinking around point solutions for business process management and asks if generic process management tools are more appropriate in a modern support systems environment.
