Abstract

Recent research on ubiquitous computing has introduced a new concept of activity-based computing as a way of thinking about supporting human activities in ubiquitous computing environment. Existing access control approaches such as RBAC, became inappropriate to support this concept because they do not consider human activities. In this paper, we propose Activity-Oriented Access Control (AOAC) model, aiming to support user´s activity in ubiquitous environments. We have designed and implemented our initial AOAC system. We also built up a simple scenario in order to illustrate how it supports user activities. The results have shown that AOAC meets our objectives. Also, AOAC it takes approximately 0.26 second to give a response which proves that AOAC is suitable to work in real-time environments.
