CALL FOR PAPERS
Fourth ACM WORKSHOP ON ROLE-BASED ACCESS CONTROL
Date: Oct. 28-29, 1999
Place: George Mason University
url: www.list.gmu.edu/rbac
Sponsored By: ACM Sigsac
Hosted By: George Mason University
The essence of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is that permissions are
assigned to roles rather than to individual users. Users acquire these
permissions by virtue of being authorized to act in these roles. The
driving motivation for RBAC is to simplify security policy administration
while facilitating the definition of flexible, customized policies. Basic
RBAC models have been successfully applied since the mainframe era, but
emerging systems, which have greater numbers of users, roles, and systems,
challenge the expressive power of these traditional models.
Workshop Scope:
The ACM workshops on RBAC bring together researchers, developers, and
practitioners to discuss the application of RBAC to both traditional and
emerging systems and the development of new access control paradigms for
future applications. The workshop invites participation from the
database, network, distributed systems, operating systems, security and
application communities. Contributions reporting experiences with the
implementation and use of RBAC systems are strongly encouraged.
Attendance is limited to 40 participants to foster a workshop atmosphere.
Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
- Modeling and specification of RBAC systems
- Administration of RBAC systems
- RBAC in database security
- Specification and enforcement of security policy
- Delegation and inheritance of access rights in RBAC systems
- Task-based access control and RBAC in collaborative environments
- Application Areas e.g., health-care, WWW
- Support for RBAC in traditional access control systems
- RBAC and organizational control principles
- Experiences with RBAC-based systems; case studies
- Enabling technologies: Java, LDAP, intra-net environments
- Implementation, integration and scalability of RBAC
- End-user tools to support RBAC administration and engineering
Submissions:
Users, developers and researchers are invited to submit seven copies of
their papers (in English and limited to 6000 words) to the Program Chair
at the coordinates given below before the due date. Submissions can be
either hard copy or electronic (postscript preferred). Papers must be
original and should not be under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Copyrights for accepted papers must be transferable to ACM (except for
Government work). Papers will be published by ACM in a proceedings to be
distributed at the workshop and mailed to all SIGSAC members. Outstanding
papers will be considered for publication in ACM's new Transactions on
Information and Systems Security (TISSEC).
Proposals for panels and group discussions should be sent, preferably by
email, to the Panels Chair at dferraiolo@nist.gov.
Paper Submissions should be sent to:
