Policies are rules that govern the choices in behaviour of a system. Security policies define what actions are permitted or not permitted, for what or for whom, and under what conditions. Management policies define what actions need to be carried out when specific events occur within a system or what resources must be allocated under specific conditions. There is considerable interest in the use of policies for the security and management of large-scale networks and distributed services. Existing policy work has focussed on specification, information models and application-specific policy enforcement. We address the important goal of providing a general-purpose deployment model for policies that is independent of the underlying policy enforcement mechanisms and can be employed in mixed policy environments. In this paper, we present a deployment model that is object-oriented and addresses the instantiation, distribution and enabling of policies as well as the disabling, unloading and deletion of policies. The model defines objects for policies, for domains, and for the policy enforcement agent and outlines the interactions needed between them. The model also caters for changes in the memberships of domains since such changes also effect policy enforcement. The model forms part of the run-time support for Ponder; a new policy language that combines structuring ideas from object-oriented languages with a common set of policy basic types.

Emerging technologies in computing and communications now make possible the processing of large amounts of real-time information. This enables the development of computerized systems for complex applications such as dynamic vehicle dispatching in the transportation sector. These systems are difficult to design and develop, since they require the real-time processing of unexpected events that impact the system in a non-deterministic way. To face these difficulties, we consider a reusable framework designed for such complex applications. This framework is based on a distributed architecture with components characterized by a behavior that satisfies the specific requirements of complex applications. Extensions and additional components are presented and discussed to support the design of a dynamic vehicle dispatcher.

Summary form only given, as follows. The complete presentation was not made available for publication as part of the conference proceedings. real-time signal processing consumes the majority of the world's computing power. Increasingly, programmable parallel microprocessors are used to address a wide variety of signal processing applications (e.g. scientific, video, wireless, medical, communication, encoding, radar, sonar and imaging). In programmable systems the major challenge is no longer hardware but software. Specifically, the key technical hurdle lies in mapping (i.e., placement and routing) of an algorithm onto a parallel computer in a general manner that preserves software portability. We have developed the Parallel Vector Library (PVL) to allow signal processing algorithms to be written using high level Matlab like constructs that are independent of the underlying parallel mapping. Programs written using PVL can be ported to a wide range of parallel computers without sacrificing performance. Furthemore, the mapping concepts in PVL provide the infrastructure for enabling new capabilities such as fault tolerance, dynamic scheduling and self-optimization. This presentation discusses PVL with particular emphasis on quantitative comparisons with standard parallel signal programming practices.

This paper presents a survey of results in developing real-time CORBA, a standard for rear-time management of distributedobjects. This paper includes background on two areas that have been combined to realize Rear-time CORBA: the CORBA standards that have been produced by the internationalobject Management Group;and techniques for distributedreal-timecomputing that have been produced in the research community. The survey describes major RT CORBA research efforts, commercial development efforts, and standardization efforts by the object Management Group.
