Abstract

 Applying intelligent agents in engineering has become one of novel subjects in implementation of distributed  systems. Autonomy, Social Ability, Reactivity and Proactiveness are definitive properties of intelligent agents to improve e-government functionalities. The purpose of this paper is to present an agent-based model for e-government. It categorizes the properties of intelligent agents and proposes a framework for improvement of e-government functionalities. Merging agent-oriented methodologies and self-managing can increase reliability in implementation of complex parts of e-government.
