Design and Standardisation of Core Directories for e-Government

Core Directories are content infrastructure elements for interoperable use in service oriented architectures. They capsulate basic information to a generic structure offering easy access and transparency. The design and research activities focused on specification, a generic approach, globally unique identification of objects and development of an example application. Moreover, requirements and advantages of the concept were discussed and directed to information management issues. Key objective is the modernisation of the information technology used in and between administrations. The interdisciplinary approach is a challenge for the constitution of next generation e-Government networks. The chapter describes the strategic and operative standardisation activities, the concept of Core Directories and the example application service responsibility finder. Furthermore, an outlook for some research activities and projects on this topic is given.

In this chapter we provide an overview of electronic government as it pertains to national security and defense within the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We discuss the adoption of web services and service oriented architectures to aid in information sharing and reduction of Information Technology (IT) costs. We also discuss the networks on which services and resources are being deployed and explain the efforts being made to manage the infrastructure of available services. This chapter provides an overview of e-government for national security and defense and provides insight to current initiatives and future directions.

Research Activities

The recent information explosion has led to massively increased demand for multimedia data storage and retrieval techniques. Content-based retrieval is an important alternative and complement to the traditional keyword-based searching for multimedia data and can greatly enhance information management. For the last ten years, the Biomedical and Multimedia Information Technology (BMIT) Group and recently the Center for Multimedia Signal Processing (CMSP) have conducted systematic studies and research activities on this topic. Some of the works relating to content-based image/video retrieval and their applications are briefly presented in this paper.

Component Models

Service-oriented architectures provide a good level of decoupling between the elements that compose an application. Service compositions may take into account that services that take part in the composition can appear and disappear. This is typically not the case when using Web Services. In dynamic environments this uncertain service availability is a recurrent scenario. Applications should be ready to handle that and dynamically adapt their behavior based on the application’s context and the available services. Although typically presented using Web Services, there are also SOAs that use other technologies. In this chapter we provide an overview on some dynamic service oriented platforms, giving special focus on the OSGi Service Platform. Also, we present what principles and mechanisms help to handle dynamicity, and we provide information on the dynamic service-based component models targeting the OSGi platform. These models allow the realization of applications that are adaptive upon dynamic scenarios where service availability is uncertain.
