Panel
A Roadmap to Policy Research: Accomplishments and Future Challenges
Policy-related research has been ongoing for many years in both systems management and security. The motivation for this work lies in the requirement for systems to adapt to events such as failures, intrusions or changes of user requirements. Policies define rules governing changes in the behaviour of systems. However, with policies came a number of research questions:
- What form should policies take: declarative or procedural specifications, goals, utility functions? Are these forms complementary or inherently incompatible?
- How do policies relate to the systems information models and business processes?
- Can policies be analysed? What properties can be satisfied or guaranteed in a policy-based system?
- Can policies be derived from higher-level security and business goals? To what extent?
- How do we engineer and test policy-based systems?
- What role do policies play in network and systems management, access control, security management, pervasive computing?
Solutions have been proposed to some of these questions whilst others remain unanswered. The panellists will attempt to provide their point of view on the state of the work in policy-based research and attempt to identify, motivate and prioritise the main challenges that lie ahead.
