“…A system can continuously be adjusted to externally imposed constraints by changing the determining policies. A formal definition is [12]: DEFINITION 2 (POLICY). Policies are derived from management goals and define the desired behavior of a system.…”

Future wireless networks will experience a continuous growth regarding the number of network elements with increasingly complex interrelations between the configuration of multiple network elements. Another trend is the seamless integration of multiple radio technologies into a single wireless network. Both developments increase network management complexity and require new management concepts with a very high degree of automation. For this purpose, a novel management approach based on a combination of workflow and policy technologies is presented. The goal is to simplify and automate management tasks in mobile networks in order to raise the state of self-organization while the network still remains under control of the operator. The approach provides the means for a dynamic system to automatically adapt to context changes. Moreover, an experimental system is presented for the purposes of concept validation and evaluation along with a real world use case.

“…Examples include the language proposed in [66], the one proposed in [67] for the specification of ECA rules for network management databases, the ASL language [68] for formal logic-based access-control policies supporting RBAC, the language presented in [69] for security policies based on permissions and obligations using deontic logic, and the LasSCO [70] language for graphically specifying access-control policies on objects using domains. Also worth mentioning is the Policy Definition Language (different from the PDL language described in section V-C) defined in 1996 by Koch et al [71] and which provides a means to specify management (obligation) and security (authorization) policies supporting subjects and targets as domain expressions, events specified using a simple Event Definition Language (EDL), constraints, and actions.…”

This paper traces the history of policy-based management and how it evolved from the first security models dating back to the late 1960's until today's more elaborate frameworks, languages, and policy-based management tools. The focus will be on providing a synthesized chronicle of the evolution of ideas and research trends rather than on surveying the various specification formalisms, frameworks, and application domains of policy-based management.

“…Many policy hierarchies have been defined by different authors. For example, [3] defines four levels ofhierarchies which are: -Corporate or high level policies, -Task oriented policies, -Functional policies, -and low-Ievel policies.…”

Policy-based Management has been largely studied during the last years. TheInternet Engineering Task force (IETF) has more recently introduced the Policy Based Networking as a mean for managing the IP networks according to the new constraints defined in the network such as the guarantee of the Quality of service (QoS). The network managed based on policies, is modelIed as astate machine which moves from astate to another according to the enforced policy. The IETF policy based networking is defined to be applied to the network nodes. However, some recent works suggests extending the policy based networking to the end user terminals. In this paper, we present an analysis of such an extension and we propose some possible solutions to support new policy-aware terminals and a corresponding end-to-end QoS extended provisioning and outsourcing frameworks.
