Design and development of smart contracts for E-government through value and business process modeling

Abstract

Administrations are constantly making great efforts to cope with the right of citizens to high-quality e-Government services. Since the advent of blockchain and smart contracts, they are trying to incorporate these technologies into their service offerings, which results in a complex task due to their nature and their inherent complexity. On the other hand, business and business process modeling facilitates the understanding and agreement between the different parties involved in the design of e-government services. All this given, this work introduces a model-based proposal to ease the integration of smart contracts into e-government services.
