Propose an Infrastructure to Establish E-Government Concept in Sri Lanka and Simulation

Abstract

E-Government� is one of the most highly implemented electronic concepts around the globe, which aims at enhancing the efficiency & effectiveness of Government services provided to the general public by joining hands with the latest technological aspects of Information and Communication Technology. The infrastructure of an e-government system comprises of communication and information sharing among government bodies within a country. Hence the interconnectivity between such organizations is a major concern of an e-government and is referred to as the Government to Government (G2G) delivery model. Sri Lankan government's roadmap towards e-government is the "e-Sri Lanka" project which has gained success in certain aspects of the system, but still lacks a framework for intragovernment communication. The proposed solution aims at offering a more stable solution for a Government to Government (G2G) communication system which is provided through a powerful simulation of its functionality and performance. It proposes and simulates a few sample activities of three major domains (Personal Domain, Health Domain & Security Domain) and a core framework of coordinating their activities through a centralized application. The success of proposed solution lies on loose coupling among domains, high focus on security of data and the services oriented architecture (SOA) based on publish-subscribe model. Several developers who are involved in web portal developments for government organizations shared their views about the solution. The reviews turned out to be focusing on the fact that it enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of providing government services to the public by 75% and that globally shared services through the services cloud will be a facilitator for developing web portals for such organizations which will eventually expose a set of valuable services to the citizens. Thus the simulated solution has shown the value and power of sharing data collected on a daily basis, among government organizations of a country. which aims at enhancing the efficiency & effectiveness of Government services provided to the general public by joining hands with the latest technological aspects of Information and Communication Technology.
