1. Call for Papers

   Policy-based systems continue to be the subject of a wide range of
   activities in universities, standardization bodies and within
   industry.  They have a wide spectrum of applicability ranging from
   systems management, to quality of service adaptation, to security
   and enterprise modelling.  POLICY 2002 is the 3rd in a successful
   series of workshops, which since 1999 has brought together leading
   researchers and industry experts to discuss problems, solutions
   and experiences in developing policy-based systems. In order to
   encourage greater interaction with other communities, POLICY 2002
   will be co-located with SACMAT 2002 (3-4 June 2002) and attendees
   will have the opportunity to register for both conferences.

   POLICY 2002 invites contributions on all aspects of policy-based
   computing.  Papers must describe original work and must not have
   been accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted
   papers will be evaluated for technical contribution, originality,
   and significance.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited
   to the following:

   * processes, methodologies, and tools for discovering, specifying,
     reasoning about, and refining policy
   * abstractions and languages for policy specification
   * policy models for access-control, systems management, QoS
     adaptation, intrusion detection, privacy
   * policy based networking
   * policy frameworks for active networks, mobile systems, e-commerce
   * implementation models and techniques
   * integrating policies into existing systems and environments
   * provisioning of policies
   * business rules and organizational modelling
   * trust models and trust management
   * extensions and refinements to policy standards
   * case studies of applying policy-based technologies

   presentations which will be published by IEEE Press. In line with
   past workshops there will be substantial time allocated for
   discussions as well as panel sessions.

   Submitted papers must describe original work and must not have been
   accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers
   will be evaluated for technical contribution, originality, and
   significance. Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop
   Proceedings and published by IEEE CS Press. Submitted papers should
   adhere to the IEEE format and not exceed 12 pages (see
   http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm for details of IEEE's
   format). Papers will be reviewed by at least 3 international experts
   and reviewers comments returned to authors after refereeing.
