Policy 2007

I am just back from IEEE Policy 2007 (Bologna, Italy, 13-15 June 2007). It has been a very interesting workshop where various aspects of policies and policy management have been discussed along with their implications for IT, identity management, access control, security, privacy, trust, semantic web, etc. A few presentations are available online: http://lia.deis.unibo.it/confs/policy2007/
I also took part to a related panel (involving IBM, HP, Telcordia and University of West Ontario) about “Business Impact of Research on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks” where we discussed our vision of how policies can help in the “Business-driven IT Management” context and how this will evolve in the coming years. All presentations are available online.
