Context-Driven Information Base Update
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major issue in information management is information update. In this paper we address this problem within the framework of a fairly general information model incorporating notions of context as a way to control and drive the update operations. We introduce three kinds of contexts: role,task and focus context. Role context relates users with update tasks, task context restricts the scope of updates and focus context is used to guide the user at run-time. In particular, we focus on issues regarding the expressive power of contexts, the consistency of context declarations with the contents of the information base, flexibility and brevity of context declaration and management and utilization of contexts. An implementation is proposed as part of a specific system, the Semantic Index System.

CAMAC: a context-aware mandatory access control model
Mandatory access control models have traditionally been employed as a robust security mechanism in multilevel security environments such as military domains. In traditional mandatory models, the security classes associated with entities are context-insensitive. However, context-sensitivity of security classes and flexibility of access control mechanisms may be required especially in pervasive c...
متن کاملUpdate-driven Inference in Deductive Databases
(Abstract of a one-hour tutorial) 1 Motivation When thinking of deductive databases, most people will probably associate this notion rather closely with problems of query processing: deductive database research is essentially concerned with formalization and implementation of information retrieval in terms of logical inference. This reaction-which seems to come quasi automatically-is probably d...

P management is a crucial component of information security management. An important problem within this context from a vendor’s perspective is to determine how to release patches to fix vulnerabilities in its software. From a firm’s perspective, the issue is how to update vulnerable systems with available patches. In this paper, we develop a game-theoretic model to study the strategic interact...
