 | A Trust and Contract Management framework enabling secure collaborative business processing in on-demand created, self-managed, scalable, and highly dynamic virtual organizations.
Trustcom developed a framework for trust, security, and contract management in dynamically evolving virtual organizations. This framework enables secure collaborative business process management in on-demand, self-managed, and dynamic value chains of businesses and governments. The framework leverages and extends the emerging convergence of open standards such as Web services, Grid technologies, and protocols for inter-enterprise interactions. |
A realization of the Trustcom framework was delivered by means of open standards Web services-based specifications and a reference implementation. Validation took place within industrial-strength test-beds in the areas of collaborative design engineering (CE) and provision of ad-hoc, dynamic processes (ADP) for the on-demand provision aggregate electronic services. The contribution of the European Microsoft Innovation Center (EMIC): The European Microsoft Innovation Center (EMIC) contributed to the project with a high amount of software development mainly related to building so-called Security Token Services (STS) as a vital component of the Trustcom Framework. In addition, we coordinated the overall development of the core TrustCom platform to enable an integral life-cycle for virtual organizations. Finally, we contributed to the standardization effort of the project. For more information, visit the project’s Web site at: http://www.eu-trustcom.com/ | |
