The central idea of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is that users
acquire and use permissions based on their current job functions,
assignments and activities in an organization. The driving motivation
for RBAC is to simplify security policy administration while
facilitating the definition of flexible, customized policies. RBAC
has been successfully applied since the mainframe era. Modern
information systems will continue to use classical RBAC models, but
the development of new modeling concepts and techniques will be
required to support large-scale, enterprise-wide, distributed systems.
The ACM workshop on RBAC brings together researchers, developers, and
practitioners to discuss new ideas, developments, applications,
requirements, problems, and solutions in the field of RBAC. The
workshop invites participation from the database, network, distributed
systems, operating system, security and application communities.=20
Attendance is limited to 40 participants to foster a workshop
atmosphere.
The inaugural workshop, held in November 1995, was successful in its
modest goal of taking a first step towards a consensus reference model
for RBAC. There was substantial agreement among attendees regarding
the general concepts that RBAC can represent. Yet, there were many
manifestations, elaboration=92s, and applications of these demonstrating
that RBAC is a rich and fruitful area for future work. Proceedings of
the first workshop are available from ACM.
Users, developers and researchers are invited to submit seven copies of
their papers (limit 7500 words) to the Program Chair at the address
given below before the due date. Papers must be original and should
not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Copyrights for
accepted papers must be transferable to ACM (except for Government work).
Outstanding papers will be considered for publication in ACM=92s new=20
Transactions on Information and Systems Security (TISSEC). Proposals
for panels and group discussions should be sent, preferably by email, to =
