Advancing a protocol to Draft Standard requires documentation of the interoperation and implementation of the protocol. Historic reports have varied widely in form and level of content and there is little guidance available to new report preparers. This document updates the existing processes and provides more detail on what is appropriate in an interoperability and implementation report. in ef...

From the perspective of spatial information sharing and interoperation, the concept of geo-ontology has been proposed in this paper. At first, a brief introduction to the Geo-Ontology concept has been described and the hierarchical structure of geo-ontology has also been analyzed. Then, the traditional method of ontology construction has been discussed and the existing problems have also been s...

We propose a formal policy framework of MAC policies in multilevel relational databases. We identify the important components of such policies and their desirable properties. The framework provides a basis for systematically specifying such policies and characterizing their potential mismatches. Based on the framework, we compare and unify the MAC policies and policy components that are propose...

As the complexity of military operations increases, defense modeling and simulation (DM&S) has contributed in analytically improving doctrines at various levels. To date, defense modelers concentrate on the best representation model of their targeted system at their targeted level with their targeted doctrine. However, insights into the doctrine from the battle experiment using such models are ...

This (extended) position paper describes a future perspective of code-clone detection and analysis methods, in which code-clone detection and analysis methods are interoperated, or integrated with various kinds of analysis methods, in order to open new possibilities of research and applications.

The interoperation of information from various data sources, internet services and applications is a central topic in scientific research. Due to the fact that today interoperation requires a high degree of user knowledge and domain expertise in order to combine services in life science applications, we need a smarter mediator-based interoperation. In particular, biologists cannot answer questi...

This paper proposes a request-driven role mapping framework for secure interoperation in multi-domain environments. To support flexible policy expression and inter-domain policy mapping, we present a convenient and effective method to perform the privilege query in general hybrid role hierarchies for special external requests based on the minimal unique set (MUS). Role mappings are the basic ap...
