Abstract

<p class="0abstract">Smart mobile devices and cloud computing are widely used today. While mobile and portable devices have different capabilities, architectures, operating systems, and communication channels than one another, government data are distributed over heterogeneous systems. This paper proposes a 3-tier mediation framework providing single application to manage all governmental services. The framework is based on private cloud computing for adapting the content of Mobile-Government (M-Government) services using Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and Derive Unique Key Per Transaction (DUKPT). The 3-layers in the framework are: presence, integration, and homogenization. The presence layer is responsible for adapting the content with regard to four contexts: device, personal, location, and connectivity contexts. The integration layer, which is hosted in a private cloud server, is responsible for integrating heterogeneous data sources. The homogenization layer is responsible for converting data into XML format. The flexibility of the mediation and XML provides an adaptive environment to stream data based on the capabilities of the device that sends the query to the system.</p>

Highlights

  • Nowadays, people are using various technologies in order to complete their day-today transactions

  • This paper describes the framework for a single mobile application for M-Government based on mediation architecture using role-based access control

  • One feature is that the framework adapts the content, which is based on the setting in the different aforementioned contexts: mobile device context, personal context, and connectivity context

Summary

Introduction

People are using various technologies in order to complete their day-today transactions. Some of the most important transactions are governmental, such as follow up applications, querying of records, submission of applications, etc These data are distributed over many governmental units that use various applications and apply diverse restrictions on accessing data. Portability is an important factor that encourages people to use technologies; on the other hand, content presentation, integration, and security need to be taken into consideration [2]. Another factor that affects the adoption of technology is the recent increase in highspeed communication infrastructures [1, 3, 4] and computer services which have allowed organizations to host their data on cloud computing database servers.
