Call for Papers
Policy-based systems continue to be the subject of a
wide range of activities in universities, standardization bodies and
within industry. They have a wide spectrum of applicability ranging from
systems management, to quality of service adaptation, to security and
enterprise modeling. POLICY 2003 is the fourth in a successful series of
workshops, which since 1999, has brought together leading researchers
and industry experts to discuss problems, solutions and experiences in
developing policy-based systems. Last year, we co-located POLICY 2002
with SACMAT 2002 in order to encourage greater interaction with other
communities. This turned out to be a resounding success and both
communities agreed to do the same in 2003. Thus, once again, attendees
will have the opportunity to register for both conferences.
POLICY 2003 invites contributions on all aspects of policy-based
computing. Papers must describe original work and must not have been
accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will
be evaluated for technical contribution, originality, and significance.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Policy Definition and Models:
-
abstractions and languages for policy specification
-
processes, methodologies, and tools for discovering,
specifying, reasoning about, and refining policy
-
extensions and refinements to policy standards
-
relationships between policies, e.g. hierarchies
Policy Mechanisms
-
implementation and enforcement techniques
-
integrating policies into existing systems and
environments
-
policy management in the large: peer-to-peer, grid
and
-
web-based services, interoperability
Policy Applications
-
policy models for access-control, systems management, QoS
adaptation, intrusion detection, privacy
-
policy based networking, including active networks,
mobile systems, e-commerce
-
business rules and organizational modeling
-
trust models and trust management
-
policies for electronic persistence presence and pervasive
presence of computing and networking capabilities
-
case studies of applying policy-based technologies
