Paper Summary:

This paper explores Astrolabe, one of the leading technologies in information management systems, for corporations. It is scalable through hierarchy, flexible through mobile code, robust through peer-to-peer architecture, and secure through digital certificates.

From the Paper:

"As the business world becomes increasingly globalized and increasingly competitive, the management of information becomes evermore important. Without effective and efficient information management systems in place, organizations lose competitiveness. Without these systems, they are not able to effectively access and manipulate perhaps one of their most valuable resources, information, at their command. The increased use of large-scale, highly dynamic, distributed applications, thanks to the increasing availability of low-cost computers and omnipresent network connectivity, calls for scalable management and self-organizational capabilities in a system. Astrolabe, a distributed information management system, was developed to fulfill these requirements."
