The resultant cross-dependency between the workflow specification and the security policy of each domain can be hard to manage without specific tools. This work presents a static analyzer that automatically verifies the consistency between workflow specifications written in WPDL (Workflow Process Definition Language) and organization security policies, written in a security language specially designed to express simultaneously several security policies.","PeriodicalId":287840,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Berger","doi":"10.1109/ENABL.1999.805183","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ENABL.1999.805183","url":null,"abstract":"Replication of shared workspaces is often required for continuous work during decoupled connectionless phases. In distributed cooperative teams, the decoupled phases are mainly long and should be supported by an optimistic strategy which guarantees unlimited concurrent work by allowing different modifications on each replica. This approach leads to inconsistent versions which must be transformed into a single version during reintegration before coupled work begins. This paper describes the basic mechanisms and the realization of a generic MARC (Merge And Resolve Conflicts) component providing history-based reintegration. The component uses operations on an object-oriented data model and defines conflicts in terms of operations as representation of inconsistencies. The conflict resolution is supported by a conflict detection, a template-based presentation, an interactive decision selection and the execution of correction operations. Furthermore, conflict dependencies and anomalies of conflicts with directed links are handled generically by an adaptation of decision options in special situations.","PeriodicalId":287840,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Mainly, the emphasis of this workshop was on public key infrastructure and authorization: current practice and future trends. The workshop was divided into panels, paper presentations, and discussion groups. Two panels were organized: the first was on Authorization and Enterprise Security Policy, and the second was on PKI and Future Trends. Panelists and participants came from a wide variety of backgrounds, ranging from researcher (Founder and manager of Security Research Group at Sun Lab, IBM Watson), PKI vendor (Marketing director of Baltimore Technologies), independent developer (VP of engineering of XETI and VP of marketing at Coastek), government (DoD), industry (HP, FujiXerox, Oracle, Sun), as well as various universities. The panelists and presenters offered different views of the current status and vision for the future of PKI and enterprise security issues. A few questions that generated some controversy are worth pointing out: (1) whether PKI can be purchased as packaged software or must it be built from within the organization? (2) What is the killer application for PKI? (3) Can authentication and authorization be separated? (4) Technical merit Vs business needs. This report is aimed at summarizing the Workshop rather than offering any suggestions one way or another with respect to the above questions.","PeriodicalId":287840,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Current information and communications technologies provide the infrastructure to send bits anywhere , but do not presume to handle information at the semantic level. This imposes people heavy load of manipulating information, including choosing, interpreting, skimming, and integrating information. Knowledge Media Networked spaces would couple models, knowledge, media, instruments, and intellectual activity across space, time, applications, and disciplinary boundaries to support activities and arrangements for teams, organizations, communities. Exploiting agent trends, these spaces could support people in finding and communicating with others with similar interests, needs and goals, to form new communities with their own traditions, cultures, norms, and conventions; to build their own virtual environments on 3D media with unique atmospheres and characteristics; to offer people new forms of interaction and presentation in business, education, and entertainment. The knowledge media networked spaces would support sharable ontologies, spatial semantic structures, processes for distributed classification and taxonomy, collaborative knowledge construction, representation and filtering tools, digital libraries and repositories across disciplines and application domains.","PeriodicalId":287840,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
