The foundations of the internet:
- the role of open source and standards,
- the progression of standardization mechanisms,
from first- to third-generation,
- the evolution from HTML to web services
The future direction for the way computers
and the internet are used:
- services, web services and their evolution
to smart web services,
- the way wireless technology and devices
will evolve,
- the crucial role of third-generation
standards development
The mechanisms that individuals and corporations
will need to employ to join and make the
most of this future direction:
- component-based software and common
data representation
- companies in conversation communities
of standardization, development and deployment

Given the history of the industrial
age, in Asia we have learned a few lessons
the hard way. The industrial age saw a massive
shift and growth in the relative wealth and
prosperity of the western democracies. Asia
is faced with steep challenges to bridge this
chasm and also the impending threat of our
inability to rationalise the rapid expansion,
growth and volatility of the emerging India
and China markets. A new era is emerging for
Asia where stability and competitiveness is
quintessential to securing long-term prosperity
for our citizens. This session offers a unique
and differentiated perspective on how the
3 pillars of eGovernment play a critical role
in the hemispherical agenda and how open adaptive
technology holds the key to unlock our potential. |

Enabling
The Next Generation eGovernment |

& Technology, BEA Systems

The yester-years
of e-government initiatives have focused on
extending the reach of thousands of government
information and services to citizens and businesses
via hundreds of web-sites (via middleware
like BEA Weblogic) and dozens of call centers.
While beneficial, the challenge is that without
a strong and coherent Web strategy and architecture,
it has inevitably resulted in numerous redundant
efforts, overlapping technologies and information
overflow for some, leading to high aggregate
costs of ownership.
Today, the next wave of e-government is more
than extending reach -- it is critical in
integrating and managing the ever-increasing
amount of information and systems across various
government agencies to:
- enable effective services and networked
collaborations within government agencies,
centered around citizens and businesses
- provide personalized and self-service anytime,
anywhere and any-channels
- detect and respond rapidly to new threats
and challenges -- e.g., disease control, military
and homeland security
Based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA),
the BEA E-Government Platform Solution helps
government worldwide implements highly efficient,
reuseable and scalable vertical e-government
systems, that networked within and across
a horizontal infrastructure framework. The
results -- governments can maximise the ubiquity
and scalability of the Web, enabling agencies
to build and perform collaborative business
processes with fewer resources, improve responsiveness
and service levels for all constituents, and
quickly share information in reliable and
secure ways. |

The
Challenges and Choices Facing Government Today |
| |
|
|
Nathan

Governments are
faced with a range of challenges in successfully
using IT to deliver services to their customers.
Among governments in Asia, IT visions differ,
so that some are focused on using IT to modernize,
while others have intense pressure to integrate
networks and consolidate IT infrastructure.
Common across every government is one thing:
choice. Governments must choose the technology
platform that they will use to realize their
respective vision. In this presentation, we
will examine how the general and IT-specific
challenges faced by governments align with
the opportunities provided by choosing Java
as a technology platform. The presentation
will be based upon a recently completed IDC
White Paper focused on Java open standards
in government. |
