Trust and authority are essential components that must be factored in designing and implementing a distributed access control mechanism for open environments. This paper presents ...
Abstract—In distributed environments, access control decisions depend on statements of multiple agents rather than only one central trusted party. However, existing policy langua...
We present a formal approach to conception of a dedicated security infrastructure based on the exception handling in the protected agents. Securityrelated exceptions are identifie...
A new approach is proposed to generate workflow scenarios of scientific applications such as Molecular Dynamics and Monte-Carlo simulations in a distributed environment. The approa...
Sensor nodes are often used to collect data from locations inaccessible or hazardous for humans. As they are not under normal supervision, these nodes are particularly susceptible...
