E-Government Grid System Based on Multi-agent for Interoperability

In this paper, we present e-government grid system to provide the seamless services to the public. The main goal of e-government systems is to promote the accessibility of government's information created by the various processing among the public sectors. The needs of sharing data and processes from the legacy systems are currently increased. However, it is difficult to convert the interoperable infrastructure from distributed and independent legacy systems in governments. Further, it requires more cost, labor and times to gain the advantages from the legacy. In this paper, we suggest the grid based integrated environments to use the distributed legacy systems in ease, as to solve the issued problems. The grid environments consist of a set of grid-middleware that connects to database and systems. The grid-middleware should be light-weight and flexible to guarantee the integrity of the independent legacy systems. Therefore we describe the middleware based on the multi-agents and consequently show data interoperation from e-government grid system through the integration of legacy systems. It is expected to reduce cost and time, as well as easily builds the cooperating environments on government's legacy systems.
