Paper Abstract:
|
The aim of this short paper is to outline a possible evolution path for e-government. E-government started as simple
online services aiming to provide information and simplified form-filling. Currently, e-government services are more and
more required to be platform-independent and constantly available concepts such as mobile government and one-stopshop
have gained popularity. The authors suggest that the future of e-government lies in the Internet of Things offering
ubiquitous and smart government services. U-government is about integrating government services seamlessly into our
smart environment consisting of embedded and interconnected devices. The authors try to describe u-government,
provide a more conclusive definition of u-government and offer an insight into one of its potential application areas. Uticket
as an example u-government service is proposed in this paper and its technical feasibility investigated. Open issues
for future research such as privacy, cost-efficiency, user acceptance, etc. are pointed out as well. Possible future ugovernment
scenarios described in different literature are shortly discussed to provide readers with perspective on the
various large-scale effects ubiquitous computing might have. |
