Research on Security and Innovation in the Cloud
“Marco Casassa Mont’s “Research on Security and Innovation in the Cloud” Blog. The focus of this blog is on trends, new technologies/solutions and innovative aspects of Security and the Cloud. I am a senior researcher at HP Labs: I am very keen to explore and discuss technical, business and social aspects of Security and Cloud Computing, also in the context of mobility, big data and information analytics. New trends are going to affect individuals and organizations in the medium/long terms. What is the next big thing in this space?”

Frameworks for Graphical Visualisation of Policies

I am looking for public information about case studies, frameworks and/or approaches to graphically visualise policies. In particular, how to convey data sharing policies by using graphical metaphors.

 

Policies are increasing getting more and more complex: not everybody can makes sense of them and/or translate them into practical/actionable terms. On the other hand, they are used in many digital contexts (web services, enterprise, B2C, cloud, etc.) to dictate constraints, SLAs, expectations and obligations.

 

I am interested in exploring how graphical visualisation can help to:

  • convey them to end-users in a more intuitive way ...
  • enable better reasoning about their meaning and implications
  • allow administrators to translate them into enforceable activities/constraints

Marcus,

 

Through the Ritter Academy, we create content-rich, visual information maps that dis-assemble complex legal rules and policy architectures into visual structures that can be navigated, showing context, structure, and relationships.  More than pleased to discuss offline.
