INTRODUCTION



The symposium brings together researchers and

practitioners working on policy-based systems

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. 



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



INFORMATION FOR SYSTEM DEMONSTRATION AUTHORS



POLICY 2011 invites system demonstrations that illustrate

research contributions and innovative applications

of policy-based technologies. System demonstration submissions 

will be evaluated on the basis of their technical merit and novelty.



Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:





Privacy and Security:



- Frameworks and tools for managing the privacy

  and the security policy life-cycle



- Architectures for deployment and enforcement of

  privacy and security policies 



- Refinement of high-level privacy/security requirements

  into policies 



- Detection and resolution of inconsistencies in privacy 

  and security policies



- Usability of policy-based privacy and security

  management tools





Policy Models and Languages:



- Abstract models and languages for policy specification



- Semantic Web rule languages for policy reasoning 



- Policy standards, their extensions and refinements



- Formal semantics of policies



- NLP and policy specification



- Methodologies and tools for specifying, analyzing, 

  refining, and evaluating policies



- Detection and resolution of policy conflicts



- Policy negotiation models and techniques



- Representation of belief, trust, and risk and their 

  use in conjunction with policy-based systems



- Systems and tools for the management of policies



- Policy visualization



- Usability of policy languages and representations 





Policy Applications:



- Federated policy management in heterogeneous 

  organisational contexts and control domains



- Case studies of applying policy-based management in 

  different application domains



- Application of policies for resource allocation, 

  autonomic computing, systems management, 





QoS adaptation and security



- Policy-based systems for cloud computing, and service 

  oriented applications



- Policy-based networking, including collaborative security, 

  pervasive computing, and mobile systems



- Policy-based Semantic Web applications



- Business rules and organizational modelling



- Policy Metrics: evaluation of the effectiveness of policies



- Policy applications in on-demand, utility based computing



- Resource virtualization and policy-based collaboration



- Cross-domain policy coordination and negotiation



- Scalability of policy-based management 



- Architectures of policy-based management systems 



- Policy Learning and automated policy generation



Those interested in demonstrating a system/application 

should submit a description following the instructions 

in the submission information section. Commercial

products are eligible, but sales and marketing

activities are not appropriate.
