Scalability refers to the ability of the trusted infrastructure to scale, usually in terms of the number of participants. A secondary aspect of scalability is scaling geographically, as scaling beyond national boundaries often poses certain problems. As discussed in section 3, scalability should be seen from the perspective of the individual participant making bilateral trust decisions, as well as the total scale of the infrastructure and its ability to grow. It is the purpose of this chapter to give guidelines for building trusted infrastructures that will grow to a global scale. Learn more in: Security and Trust in a Global Research Infrastructure

Frequently used as a magic incantation to indicate that something is badly designed or broken. Often you hear in a discussion “but that doesn’t scale” as the magical word to end an argument. This is often an indication that developers are running into situations where the architecture of their system limits their ability to grow their service. If scalability is used in a positive sense it is in general to indicate a desired property, as in “our platform needs good scalability.” Learn more in: Implementing Varied Discussion Forums in E-Collaborative Learning Environments
