A Multi-level Policy Representation for Management Services in Maritime Networks

Policy-enabled traffic engineering in maritime tactical networks

“…We look here at three key concepts that were developed for policy representation as part of the jointly-developed maritime policy system. Details of the policy representation used in the policy system's prototype are presented in [5], and included as Appendix C. capabilities. This innovative concept was added so that a ship may quickly switch from one policy-group to another with the policy system automatically making the required changes to network devices and services to meet the changed needs.…”

“…This appendix provides an overview of the policy representation required for the PETE management services described in this thesis. It is based on the policy representation paper [5] given at the 2007 IEEE Workshop on Policies for Distributed Systems and Networks in Bologna, Italy, June 2007. This paper described the policy representation of the policy management system developed at CRC § § § .…”

“…• Several papers have been published related to this research including o An introductory paper characterising maritime networks and outlining our service-oriented policy-based network management architecture [4]. o A paper describing the policy representation [5]. o A paper that presents the implementation of the policy-based network management prototype [6] (winner of a best paper award) o A paper describing the operation of the RRS [7].…”
