Policy-based reasoning for smart web service interaction

by Marco Alberti, Federico Chesani, Marco Gavanelli, Evelina Lamma, Paola Mello, Marco Montali, Paolo Torroni - PROCEEDINGS OF THE ICLP'06 WORKSHOP ON APPLICATIONS OF LOGIC PROGRAMMING IN THE SEMANTIC WEB AND SEMANTIC WEB SERVICES (ALPSWS2006) , 2006
"... We present a vision of smart, goal-oriented web services that reason about other services' policies and evaluate the possibility of future interactions. We assume web services whose interface behaviour is specified in terms of reactive rules. Such rules can be made public, in order for other we ..."

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

Adapting Golog for composition of semantic web Services

by Sheila Mcilraith , 2002
"... Motivated by the problem of automatically composing network accessible services, such as those on the World Wide Web, this paper proposes an approach to building agent technology based on the notion of generic procedures and customizing user constraint. We argue that an augmented version of the logi ..."

A software framework for matchmaking based on semantic web technology

by Lei Li, Ian Horrocks , 2003
"... An important objective of the Semantic Web is to make Electronic Commerce interactions more flexible and automated. To achieve this, standardisation of ontologies, message content and message protocols will be necessary. In this paper we investigate how Semantic and Web Services technologies can be ..."

A Policy-based Approach to Smart Cloud Services

by Karuna P Joshi, Tim Finin, Yelena Yesha, Anupam Joshi, Navid Golpayegani, Nabil R. Adam
"... Abstract — Virtualized service models are now emerging and redefining the way information technology is delivered. Man-aging these services efficiently over the cloud is an open chal-lenge. We are developing a policy-based integrated framework for automating acquisition and consumption of Cloud serv ..."

Policy-based self-management of . . .

by Stefan Illner, et al.
"... Service-orientation supports the construction of flexible and comprehensive industrial applications. The growing scale and complexity of the applications, however, demand for enhanced self-management functions providing efficient self-adaptation and repair mechanisms. We propose the approach of poli ..."

of policy-controlled self-management which has been developed and successfully tested in the context of Web Service based control applications. We use hierarchically structured management policies where high-level policies serve as abstract definitions of management objectives and low-level policies

Policy-based Management for E-Service Delivery

by Giacomo Piccinelli, Cesare Stefanelli, Michal Morciniec, Marco Casassa Mont
"... If the first chapter of the Internet was about the dissemination of information, chapter two is about services. In the past, the Internet strategy of a company was about using a web site for advertising products. Today, companies shift their focus on electronic services (e-services), and the Interne ..."

and the application prototype for mediated e-service delivery developed at the HP labs in Bristol. The presented solution is based on the concept of dynamic enforcement for delivery policies deriving from contractual agreement between service provider and service consumer.

Web Service Composition - Current Solutions and Open Problems

by Biplav Srivastava, Jana Koehler - In: ICAPS 2003 Workshop on Planning for Web Services , 2003
"... Composition of Web services has received much interest to support business-to-business or enterprise application integration. On the one side, the business world has developed a number of XML-based standards to formalize the specification of Web services, their flow composition and execution. This a ..."

. This approach is primarily syntactical: Web service interfaces are like remote procedure call and the interaction protocols are manually written. On the other side, the Semantic Web community focuses on reasoning about web resources by explicitly declaring their preconditions and effects with terms precisely

A Rule-Based Approach for Reasoning About Collaboration Between Smart Web Services

Policy-Based Access Control for Body Sensor Networks

by Charalampos Manifavas , Konstantinos Fysarakis , Konstantinos Rantos , Konstantinos Kagiambakis , Ioannis Papaefstathiou
"... Abstract. Sensor nodes and actuators are becoming ubiquitous and research efforts focus on addressing the various issues stemming from resources constraints and other intrinsic characteristics typically associated with such devices and their applications. In the case of wearable nodes, and especial ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
, and especially in the context of e-Health applications, the security issues are exacerbated by the direct interaction with the human body and the associated safety and privacy concerns. This work presents a policy-based, unified, cross-platform and flexible access control framework. It adopts a web services
