Poster: Reasoning Based on Imperfect Context Data in Adaptive Security

Abstract

Enabling software systems to adjust their protection in continuously changing environments with imperfect context information is a grand challenging problem. The issue of uncertain reasoning based on imperfect information has been overlooked in traditional logic programming with classical negation when applied to dynamic systems. This paper sketches a non-monotonic approach based on Answer Set Programming to reason with imperfect context data in adaptive security where there is little or no knowledge about certainty of the actions and events.
