    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
