Abstract

Information technology can fruitfully support the participation of citizens in the public life. E-democracy is the set of infrastructures, applications, and devices that make such participation easier and let people better approach to the political actions, for instance attending conventions and voting for a candidate. This paper proposes an approach based on mobile agents playing roles to simplify the task of the developers of e-democracy applications, making them more flexible and adaptable. An application example is exploited to show the concrete advantages of our approach.
