Integrating policy-based access management and adaptive traffic engineering for QoS deployment

In this paper, we describe our experiences of designing a platform that integrates distributed policy-based access control and trust management technologies with a developed QoS-aware network management platform. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate how the application of policy-based decision processes can help to deploy the platform in a scalable way offering adaptive services with enriching features such as flexible rule-based service definitions and roaming.
