IEEE International Symposium on Policies for
Distributed Systems and Networks (POLICY 2009)
CALL FOR PAPERS
20-22 July 2009
Imperial College London, UK
http://www.ieee-policy.org
The symposium brings together researchers and practitioners working on
policy-based systems across a range of application areas including
policy-based networking, privacy and security management, storage area
networking, and enterprise systems. POLICY 2009 has grown out of a highly
successful series of workshops and this is recognized by the elevation of
the event to an IEEE symposium.
This year, in addition to the latest research results from the communities
working in any area of policy-based management and computing, we encourage
contributions on policy-based techniques in support of privacy and security
management, including the policy life-cycle, detection and resolution of
inconsistency, refining policies from users' requirements, and usability
issues.
In addition to the main technical programme, POLICY 2009 will feature a
special session devoted to the demonstrations of innovative policy based
systems.
POLICY 2009 invites novel contributions on all aspects of policy-based
management. Papers must describe original work and must not have been
accepted or submitted for publication elsewhere. Submitted papers will be
evaluated for technical contribution, originality, and significance. Topics
of interest include, but are not limited to the following:
- Privacy and Security
- Policy Models and Languages
- Policy Applications
For a complete description of the topics of interest, please see
http://www.policy-workshop.org/cfp.html.
System demonstration submissions will be evaluated on the basis of their
technical merit and novelty. Of particular interest are systems that
illustrate research contributions and innovative applications of policy
based technologies. Those interested in demonstrating a system / application
should submit a description following the instructions in the System
Submission Section. Commercial products are eligible, but sales and
marketing activities are not appropriate.

Paper Submission Information
Papers under review elsewhere must NOT be submitted to Policy 2009. The
proceedings of the workshop will be published by IEEE Computer Society and
submissions must be in IEEE Proceedings format (see
http://ieee-formats.notlong.com).
Policy 2009 invites contributions in the form of either:
- Technical papers (max. length 8 pages).
- Short position papers describing preliminary experimental results,
experiences with deployed policy systems, new applications or new policy
research challenges (max. length 4 pages)
- System Demonstration proposal describing the proposed demonstration
Descriptions of accepted demonstrations will be included in the workshop
proceedings (max. length 2 pages, not including references)
We particularly encourage contributions from industry in the form of long or
short papers.
