Abstract:
In this article, the main elements of the Iranian Application Reference Model, called INARM, are briefly introduced. This model includes three levels of systems, application components, and interfaces. In the “system” section of this model, there are 11 system groups, 74 systems and more than 250 modules. The section of application components contains 4 application component groups, 36 application components and more than 100 modules. Finally, the section of interfaces contains 16 interfaces. The mere provision of the application reference model is not very helpful, and it is necessary to specify the use cases of the model. It is also necessary to make clear the considerations and risks of using the model for government agencies. In this regard, this paper describes 10 use cases for the INARM. As a specific use case, the government’s participation in procuring public software for the agencies (based on INARM and with the aim of cost reduction in system’s procurement and maintenance,
and increasing system quality) is explained.
