This paper is motivated by the need to support multiple service classes in fast packet-switched networks. We address the problem of characterizing and designing scheduling policie...
Collaborative systems provide a rich but potentially chaotic environment for their users. This paper presents a system that allows users to control collaboration by enacting polic...
There is a need to be able to program network components to adapt to application requirements for quality of service, specialised application dependent routing, to increase effici...
This paper presents an investigation into local mechanisms and scheduling policies that allow guest processes to efficiently exploit otherwise-idle workstation resources. Unlike t...

The Border Gateway Protocol, BGP, is currently the only interdomain routing protocol employed on the Internet. As required of any interdomain protocol, BGP allows policy-based met...

The management of policies in large-scale systems is complex because of the potentially large number of policies and administrators, as well as the diverse types of information th...

In this paper we define and provide a general construction for a class of policies we call dynamic policies. In most existing systems, policies are implemented and enforced by ch...

Border Gateway Protocol allows Autonomous Systems (ASs) to apply diverse routing policies for selecting routes and for propagating reachability information to other ASs. Although ...
In this paper, we present several general policies for deciding when to share probabilistic beliefs between agents for distributed monitoring. In order to evaluate these policies,...
In this paper, we introduce the concept of ”user policies”. The objective of policies is to specify user preferences in terms of presentation and interaction with information. ...
