A Cloud Platform for Smart Government Services, using SDN networks: the case of study at Jalisco State in Mexico

This paper aims to describe the implemented platform, and the results with the use of applications in mobile devices for the payment of taxes reducing paperwork through cloud access platforms for government services used and, previously analyzed within a sensor network. We measure the flow of interconnected citizens in a private cloud infrastructure through SDN Networks. A solution is presented, integrating and setting the design requirements of a private cloud platform. Such requirements propose dynamic network bandwidth adaptation, security layers, and interoperability on IoT devices. We also conducted a literary review of existing platforms that are used to improve innovative technological implementations in Smart Cities. From that survey, we propose an architecture, and we continue with a comparative analysis of how this platform improves the services provided to citizens in the tax offices of the Jalisco State in Mexico. Finally, we conclude with the benefits provided for the smart government as part of a Smart Cities strategy.
