The latest researches on access control model are dramatically different from conventional ones. Nowadays, most attention is paid to accessing across organizational boundaries. So, how to identify the applicant and determine authorization with limited information; how to express and exchange control rules expediently; how to protect confidential information and enhance collaboration simultaneously, are the most concerned problems. However, for large commercial organizations, a fine management of internal functions is of the same importance as external service management. It is very troublesome to control authorizations merely with attributes and composition of policies introduced from attribute-based access control (ABAC). So, we introduce a united access control model for systems in collaborative commerce, combining the advantages of conventional role-based access control (RBAC), task-based authentication control (TBAC) and that of recent ABAC and automated trust negotiation (ATN). Innovational ideas in the model are analyzed, and the implement architecture is discussed. The paper concludes with a summary of the united model’s benefits and future work.
As the capability of an individual Web service is limited, it's necessary to create new functionalities with existing Web services. Web services composition is the ability to create a new value-added service by incorporating some existing web services together. A model based colored Petri net (CPN) to provide semantic support for web service composition is proposed. The basic composite constructs in the model are sequence, concurrent, choice and loop. A closed composing algebra is defined to obtain a framework which enables declarative composition of web services. Finally modeling composite processes of Web services based on CPN is applied to a case of naval vessel command and control system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
