SYMPOSIUM SCOPE

The symposium brings together researchers and

across a wide range of application domains
including policy-based networking, privacy, trust
and security management, autonomic computing,
pervasive systems and enterprise systems. POLICY
2011 is the 12th in a series of successful events,
which have provided a forum for discussion and
collaboration between researchers, developers and
users of policy-based systems. In addition to the
areas mentioned above, we specifically encourage
this year contributions on policy-based techniques
in support of Cloud computing and Enterprise
Service Oriented applications as well as the use
of reasoning, verification and learning techniques
in policy-based systems.
