Library Management System Implementation onGoogle App Engine(GAE) Cloud Infrastructure

Abstract

All of the library systems need their own data centers for managing large data storage. Traditional library management needs more control over the management applications and stored data contains sensitive and private information. Web-based digital library provisioning and maintenance of infrastructure presents several challenges. Cloud computing is particularly attractive choice for library management system because of its large storage volume and streamline of cost. The proposed system will present the access control on library management system of university in cloud computing by utilizing the platform as a service(PaaS) of cloud. In this system, Google App Engine(GAE) will be used for the library management development. As the cloud service provider uses the multi-tenancy model, the data in the cloud is accessible to multiple users. Thus, there is a high risk to the security of data in the cloud. Therefore, there is a great need for providing security against these un-trusted service providers. So, this system also supports the data access control by Mandatory Access Control(MAC).
