There is an emerging need for Content Management Systems(CMS) enabling collaborative development, administration,and distribution of content over the Internet. ManyCMS solutions are currently based on a client/server architecturewith a central server for storage and management.While such centralized systems simplify management withrespect to data consistency, security, and accountability,they lack scalability and reliability. Pure peer-to-peer(P2P) network architectures are based on the assumptionthat no central server exists and has to be relied on, sincepeers collaboratively provide content and core systemfunctionality that would be provided otherwise by a singleserver. A P2P-based CMS scales much better, since availablesystem resources increase linearly with the number ofparticipating peers. In addition, the availability of the systemcan be raised without much effort, by increasing theredundancy of content across the peer.
