Abstract :
In this paper, we describe the use of description logic as the basis for a policy representation language and show how it is used in our implementation of a policy managed pervasive environment. We compare our approach within this domain to conventional policy management in both implementation and analysis, and highlight the difficulties presented by dynamic environments.
