monitoring of service based e-governance systems
In recent years web services seems to provide a solution towards interoperability both at the organizational and application level. It is possible to integrate inter-related tasks of different organizations through service composition techniques to form single service based applications. However, as government organizations function autonomously it is necessary to monitor these service based systems (SBS) at run-time. Monitoring SBS in a non-intrusive and composition platform independent manner is a real challenge. In this paper, we propose a framework for monitoring the compliance of SBS for which a set of requirements have been pre-specified. A Monitor Specification Language has been developed to specify the properties of the system to be monitored at run-time. The monitoring framework has been applied to a government document verification scenario as proof of concepts.
