Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The objectives of this project are to define a notation plus associated tools for the specification of wide range of different types of policies and constraints for distributed systems and networks. The notation should be extensible to cater for future policy types and support analysis for conflicts arising from distributed policy specification possibly in different interacting organisations. We will examine alternative strategies for representing policies to permit transfer around the network and approaches to implementing policy interpreters. We will investigate the use of our policy notation and tools to specify Service Level Agreements (SLAs) between customers and service providers to permit on-line implementation and monitoring of conformance.
