An Adaptive Security Model for Multi-agent Systems and Application to a Clinical Trials Environment

Abstract

We present in this paper an adaptive security model for Multi-agent

A Security Model and its Application to a Distributed Decision Support System for Healthcare

“…This is achieved through an integrated role concept [8]. Here agent's functional duty role as described by the Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) [8] and agent's social rights role as described by the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) [10] are seamlessly integrated. The principle is:…”

“…But he/she will be rejected of the reputation updating request since its precondition of policy rule satisfaction fails. Both RR and security PR have been formalised in the XML model so that agents can uniformly perform their duties if they are found having the appropriate rights [5] [6] [8].…”

A knowledgeable security model for distributed health information systems

“…a particular clinician can/cannot access particular resource items. A generic security policy schema for healthcare is described in Xiao et al (2007) that can complement the metarule with any number of specific policies. The following shows the LCC constraints used by the database agent, being a resource manager, for permission checking before the actual role functions are carried out.…”

Developing a security protocol for a distributed decision support system in a healthcare environment

“…In our previous work [9], we have developed a Security Model and an associated Policy Rule Model. Briefly, they borrow the role permission association from Role-Based Access Control [11], avoid its weaknesses, and extend it towards a seamless integration with the role playing pattern from Agent-Oriented Software Engineering.…”
