Proceedings of the Second Semantic Web Policy Workshop
November 5, 2006
Policies are pervasive in web applications. They play crucial roles in enhancing security, privacy and usability of distributed services, and indeed may determine the success (or failure) of a web service. However, users will not be able to benefit from these protection mechanisms unless they understand and are able to personalize policies applied in such contexts. For web services, this includes policies for access control, privacy, and business rules, among others. There has been extensive research in the area, including the Semantic Web community, but several aspects still exist that prevent policy frameworks from widespread adoption and real-world application. This volume contains the papers presented at the 2nd International Semantic Web Policy Workshop (SWPW’06) held in Athens, Georgia, USA on November 5th, 2006, in conjunction with the 5th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC). In response to the call for papers, there were a total of 15 submissions. These papers were evaluated on the basis of their originality and contribution, technical quality, and presentation. Each submission was reviewed by at least three programme committee members. The committee finally decided to accept four full papers and six short/position papers. The program also includes an invited talk by Grit Denker on Policy Specification and Enforcement For Spectrum-Agile Radios. We would like to thank all people who contributed to the success of the workshop, including the programme committee members and external referees, who provided timely and in-depth reviews of the submitted papers, all authors who submitted papers, and all the attendees.
