Access control (AC) is a computer security requirement used to control, in a computing
environment, what the user can access, when and how. Policy administration is an essential …

The emergence of ubiquitous computing, especially with the Internet of Things (IoT),
releases new prospects to traditional information systems by merging new technologies and …

Configuring and maintaining a firewall configuration is notoriously hard. Policies are written
in low-level, platform-specific languages where firewall rules are inspected and enforced …

Firewalls are a fundamental tool for managing and protecting computer networks. They
behave according to a configuration that specifies the desired policy, ie, which packets are …

Firewall configurations are evolving into dynamic policies that depend on protocol states. As
a result, stateful configurations tend to be much more error prone. Some errors occur on …

The management and specification of access control rules that enforce a given policy is a
non-trivial, complex, and time consuming task. In this paper we aim at simplifying this task …

Intents brought significant improvements in network management by the use of intent-level
languages. Despite these improvements, intents are not yet fully integrated and deployed in …

The new generation of networking environments such as the internet of things (IoT), cloud
computing, etc. is emerging and releases new prospects to traditional information systems …

Abstract Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is showing significant improvements in network
management, especially by reducing the complexity through intent-level languages …

Firewalls are essential for managing and protecting computer networks. They permit
specifying which packets are allowed to enter a network, and also how these packets are …
