Keynote I - The Italian eGov Enterprise Architecture: A Comprehensive Introduction with Focus on the SLA issue
 |
Professor Roberto Baldoni
University of Rome, Italy |
Abstract
The talk will describe the ongoing effort for defining and developing a nationwide eGov Enterprise architecture in order to guarantee a flexible approach for integrated application services, respecting local and central administrations' autonomy. An appropriate mixture of organizational initiatives, together with the promulgation of appropriate laws, and the development of innovative technical rules, seems to be the success factor of the approach. From a more technical point of view, the definition (i) of semantically-rich service agreements, (ii) of a repository more complex than a simple UDDI registry, and (iii) of complementary components for dealing with QoS and security, represent the core elements of the infrastructure. Finally the talk will point out and analyze the problem related to the monitoring of QoS at the level of the service execution in such a large service infrastructure.
