<SPAN lang=en–us> <P>POLICY 2008 is the 9th in a series of successful workshops, which since 1999 have provided a forum for discussion and collaboration between researchers, developers, and users of policy–based systems. This year, in addition to the latest research results from the communities working in any area of policy–based management and computing, we encourage contributions on policy–based techniques in support of all types of wireless networks: cellular, Wi–Fi, Mobile Ad Hoc, hybrids, etc.</P> <P>Policy 2008 aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on policy–based systems across a wide range of application areas including networking, privacy and security management, storage area networking, enterprise systems, and the Web. </P> <P></SPAN><STRONG>Keywords:</STRONG></P> <P><EM>Policy Models and Languages:<BR></P></EM> <UL> <LI>Abstract models and languages for policy specification <LI>Representing policies in XML, RDF, and OWL <LI>Semantic Web rule languages for policy reasoning <LI>Policy standards, their extensions and refinements <LI>Formal semantics of policies <LI>Relationships between policies, both going vertically from policies for IT processes to policies for IT devices, and crossing horizontally through multiple application domains <LI>Methodologies and tools for discovering, specifying, analyzing, refining, and evaluating policy <LI>Models of policy negotiation <LI>Representation of belief, trust, and risk in policies <LI>Systems and tools for the management of policies <LI>Policy visualization </LI></UL> <P><EM><BR>Policy Applications:<BR></EM></P> <UL> <LI>Case studies of applying policy–based management in different application domains <LI>Application of policies for resource allocation, autonomic computing, systems management, QoS adaptation, security <LI>Application of policies for identity and privacy management <LI>Policy based networking, including collaborative security, pervasive computing, and mobile systems <LI>Business rules and organizational modeling <LI>Identity management <LI>Personalization <LI>Risk adaptive policy systems <LI>Database policies <LI>Policy applications in on–demand, utility based computing <LI>Resource virtualization and policy–based collaboration </LI></UL> <P><EM><BR>Policies in Wireless Networks:<BR></EM></P> <UL> <LI>Service management in mobile ad hoc networks <LI>Policy systems for small devices <LI>Policy–based spectrum management <LI>Privacy and security <LI>Policies in location based services <LI>Context–aware policies in pervasive and mobile computing </LI></UL>
