Semantic Web Languages for Policy Representation and Reasoning: A Comparison of KAoS, Rei, and Ponder (2003, background): “Policies are a means to dynamically regulate the behavior of system components without changing code and without requiring the consent or cooperation of the components being governed [1, 2].”
Reconfigurable computing: architectures and design methods (2005, methodology): “First, a framework has been developed to enable description of designs in the network policy language Ponder [45], into reconfigurable hardware implementations [95].”
Privacy and contextual integrity: framework and applications (2006, background): “Future obligations in the form of a list of future actions that must be performed are present in the policy specification language Ponder [17].”
Model driven security: From UML models to access control infrastructures (2006, background): “Probably the most closely related work is the Ponder Speci.cation Language [Damianou et al. 2001; Damianou 2002], which supports the formalization of authorization policies where rules specify which actions each subject can ACM Transactions on Software Engineering and Methodology, Vol. 15, No.”
Organization based access control (2003, background): “More recently, including obligations in the security policy specification was also suggested[9, 10].”
A policy language for a pervasive computing environment (2003, background): “Ponder [5] allows general security policies to be specified.”
An artificial intelligence perspective on autonomic computing policies (2004, background): “Numerous and varied definitions of policy (e.g., [3], [4], [5], [6], to cite just a few) have been put forward in recent years.”
SOUPA: standard ontology for ubiquitous and pervasive applications (2004, neutral): “Policy is an emerging technique for controlling and adjusting the low-level system behaviors by specifying high-level rules [11].”
The PERMIS X.509 role based privilege management infrastructure (2002, background): “The Ponder language [7] is very compact and very powerful, but does not have a large set of supporting tools.”
A community authorization service for group collaboration (2002, background): “Our restricted proxy credential format is designed to be neutral to the actual policy language employed and can support arbitrary policy languages such as Controlled English [21], ASL [22], or Ponder [23]. In our specification we do not state a specific language to be used, but instead have a field ”
Self-Managed Systems: an Architectural Challenge (2007, background): “Work in the network management area has produced languages such as Ponder [15] which perform a similar function to the planning languages in the context of systems.”
