Architectural design of a digital publishing system

Abstract

This report describes the architecture of a digital publishing system, which is a next-generation end-to-end media platform using various wired and wireless communication channels for publishing, allowing personalized services based on user-profile and context. This report represents a logical step in the development of the publishing system, and is based as such on an in-depth domain analysis and a study of the major system requirements. The analysis comprises a study of complementary viewpoints on the problem domain, domain models of these viewpoints, and several use cases that reflect functional requirements of four major stakeholders (input sources, advertisers, news desks and media consumers). The objective of this report is to translate both the analysis and the inventory of system requirements into a well-defined architecture.
