A Secure and Scalable Grid-Based Content Management System

Abstract

We present in this paper a secure and scalable Grid-based content management system for the management of high-volume multimedia data in the domain of the publishing industry. This is achieved by leveraging on existing individual solutions, such as the Alfresco content management system, the SRM standard for building scalable solutions based on the Grid and the GridTrust services for building trustworthy and secure Grid systems. Our solution brings closer the use of the Grid to the enterprise community within the context of a real world use case scenario. The solution facilitates the fine-grained usage control of the storage resources and a reputation-based matching between resource policies and users' past behaviour.
