  <description><![CDATA[Various aspects of a Web service may require description. This includes its constraints (e.g., "You must use HTTP Authentication when accessing this service") and its capabilities (e.g., "I can support GZIP compression"). Likewise, clients accessing Web services have constraints and capabilities of their own to consider when accessing services.

Many such aspects are typically associated with a number of orthogonal problem domains; for example, it may be desirable to describe constraints an...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) is a collection of wireless, self-organizing nodes, each capable of routing network traffic and having the ability to be mobile.  A MANET has no central authority nor fixed network infrastructure, and the dynamic nature and openness of MANETs lead to potential vulnerabilities.  Since there is no guarantee of connection to the wired Internet, accepted security practices involving third party authentication servers becomes an unrealistic expectation.  Even with a...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Radio Frequency Identifier (RFID) is an emerging technology. Despite
formidable security vulnerabilities, RFID finds applications from supply
chain management to tracking personnel. A rogue RFID reader being able to
query a RFID tag for its unique identifier or eavesdrop on the identifier is
a major security concern. One-way hashing, cryptography and one-time pads
are among some of the methods being used to secure this channel. Most of
these methods involve the use of expensive active R...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Security and access control are one of the major issues within pervasive
computing environments such as Task Computing. There is a need of
unobtrusive and flexible access control and access to services has to be
restricted based on certain policies imposed by the organization (Fujitsu
in this case). The dynamic nature of pervasive computing environments also
requires the updating of policies on the fly.

  <description><![CDATA[In computer science, policies are rules and
constraints that govern the behavior of software agents. The use of
policies makes systems more flexible by separating the declarative
components of the system from its implementation. Policies are usually
expressed in a readable declarative language that can be understood by
a human. Policy based security model defines rules for access control,
authorization, and authentication of software objects and entities,

of Cyber Physical Systems with sensors, ECU’s and actuators
working together to produce a coherent behavior. With the advent
of external connectivity, a larger attack surface has opened up

devices in pervasive environments. MANETs provide inexpensive and
versatile communication, yet several challenges remain in addressing
their security.  So far, numerous schemes have been proposed for
