Project description:
In a Software as Service (SaS) approach, a provider can realize and

consumers. The SAS-LEG project aims to offer a software engineering
approach to build and maintain SaS platforms in the domain of local
e-Government, emphasizing on offering powerful configuration
possibilities. This process will leverage a number of disciplines and
technologies:
- Model-driven development at the business, architecture and services level.
- Variability management to handle configuration at the three
aforementioned levels.
- Quality-driven architecting to ensure the satisfaction of critical
Quality Attributes.
- Powerful run-time reconfiguration techniques.
A pilot in the application of health care for local e-Government in the
Netherlands will be the testbed for the technologies developed in the
project. The consortium includes four partners: University of Groningen
(academic-scientific), Cordys (technology provider), EGEM (public
organization – expert in e-government for municipalities) and Project
WZZ (union of municipalities – end user).
