Messaging infrastructure for Electronic Government: background, rationale, objectives

Electronic Government applications aim to deliver efficient, seamless, customer-focused services to the public using various distribution channels. One of challenges in building such applications is the requirement to rely upon preexisting, often heterogeneous government applications. In order to enable communication between such applications, middleware software is required. In this paper we present a research line for formal specification and development of programmable message-oriented middleware, a foundation for infrastructure development for Electronic Government.
