Towards a Policy-Aware Web
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we argue that a new generation of PolicyAware Web (PAW) technology can hold the key for providing open, distributed and scalable information access on the World Wide Web. Our approach provides for the publication of declarative access policies in a way that allows transparency for information sharing among parties. In addition, greater control over information release can be placed in the hands of the information owner, by employing rule-based discretionary access control. In this paper, we outline the kind of reasoning support which is needed to achieve these goals. Also, we present our initial steps in this direction. Our example application for this purpose is a calendar and photo sharing web site that uses a distributed policy framework (REIN) built on top of a rule-based reasoner (CWM).

Automatic QoS-aware Web Services Composition based on Set-Cover Problem
By definition, web-services composition works on developing merely optimum coordination among a number of available web-services to provide a new composed web-service intended to satisfy some users requirements for which a single web service is not (good) enough. In this article, the formulation of the automatic web-services composition is proposed as several set-cover problems and an approxima...
متن کاملTowards Privacy Policy-Aware Web-Based Systems
The Web provides different ways to communicate and perform activities that vary from simple to sophisticated: using forums on websites, online shopping, orchestrating Web Services. All of them involve processing data about the user, be it technical (e.g., the version of the user’s browser or the IP address) or personal information (name, address, gender, credit card number, etc.). In order to g...
متن کاملTowards Socially Aware Mobile Phones
Mobile phones currently represent the most pervasive technology for enabling social networking. They collect a wide range of socially meaningful data, such as address book contacts, pictures, call logs and exchanged messages. This data, however, is highly underutilized as it is managed by separate applications which are typically unaware of the user’s social setting. This “unawareness” makes th...
متن کاملAn Intelligent Broker Architecture for Context-Aware Systems
Context-aware computing is an emerging paradigm to free everyday users from manually configuring and instructing computer systems. As the general trend of computing is progressing towards an open and dynamic infrastructure, building context-aware systems can be difficult and costly. In order to build successful context-aware systems, we must develop an architecture to reduce the difficulty and ...
متن کاملCreating a Policy-Aware Web: Discretionary, Rule-based Access for the World Wide Web
In this paper, we describe the motivations for, and development of, a rule-based policy management system that can be deployed in the open and distributed milieu of the World Wide Web. We discuss the necessary features of such a system in creating a “Policy Aware” infrastructure for the Web, and argue for the necessity of such infrastructure. We then show how the integration of a Semantic Web r...
متن کاملTowards Policy-aware Queries over Linked Data
The Linked Data principles for publishing data on the Web enable the distributed evaluation of queries, where data sources are discovered during runtime. Data sources can have associated licenses that restrict allowed usages. Besides restrictions on the access to the data sources, the usage terms can also restrict the usage terms which can be assigned to derived data artefacts, e.g. query resul...
