Applying patterns to e-government

This paper present design patterns which simplifies the process of developing, deploying, and managing complex, integrated, and standards-compliant E-government applications. The patterns can be used at different levels and layers of E-government’s architecture. Architecture Patterns are the highest layer patterns and have a high level of abstraction. Their aim is to present the different system components and their collaboration through a conceptual model. In the middle layer are design patterns. In e-government, security and object-oriented design patterns are most used. The design patterns application allows to improve the performance of the existing solution, the flexibility and scalability, security and to keep the applications up to date and to incorporate the new requirements. E-government web design patterns allow to create intuitive websites that are suitable for different user categories

Revisión sistemática de la literatura científica sobre los procesos de medición de e-gobierno

La investigación tiene como propósito presentar una síntesis de los procesos de medición de e-Gobierno publicados en la literatura científica en el periodo 2004 -2014. Específicamente, la investigación se enfocó en identificar las variables e indicadores de evaluación propuestos en la literatura científica para medir la e-Gobierno. En la pasantía se realizaron los siguientes objetivos: Construir un marco conceptual que permita explicar qué es Gobierno en Línea y sus características más importantes, planear la revisión sistemática, estableciendo las preguntas de investigación, el alcance de la revisión y los criterios a considerar para la selección y clasificación de los documentos, buscar los documentos en las bases de datos seleccionadas utilizando para ello una ecuación de búsqueda depurada, seleccionar los documentos a ser analizados a través de una evaluación de calidad de los mismos y realizar el análisis de los documentos seleccionados y presentar una síntesis de los resultados obtenidos, gracias a la ejecución y consecución de los objetivos anteriores, se logró identificar cuatro dimensiones y 16 aspectos importantes para la evaluación de e-Gobierno, teniendo como resultados mediciones de variables e indicadores: en transición en línea el 13,09%, en demográfico (edad, sexo, ciudad, entre otros) teniendo el 12,83%, estándares en línea el 10,86% y en información el 9,95%

Measuring Factors That Influence the Success of E-government Initiatives

The success of e-government initiatives is contingent upon its citizens \u27 willingness to use the services. Citizens are more likely to use e-government services if they believe that they get better value than from the conventional government services. Understanding how citizens value e-government services is critical to the success of these initiatives. This study utilizes two concepts from the field of decision analysis. These are mean-ends chains and value-focused thinking. The research that follows describes the development of a model to identify factors that influence value judgments of citizens. Based on the data of 21 0 responses from e-government service users, two instruments were developed to measure perceived e-government value. They were means objectives and fundamental objectives. What is important to e-government users are the fundamental objectives. Means objectives help to achieve the fundamental objectives. The study results suggested a 4-factor 20-item instrument that measures means objectives in terms of public trust, information access, public accessibility, and quality of services. The results also suggested a 4-factor 18-item instrument that measures fundamental objectives in terms of time savings, efficiency of service, service to citizen, and social awareness. The study also showed evidence of content validity, construct validity, and reliability
