We present a policy conflict analysis process that makes use of pre-defined semantic
models of an application to perform effective and efficient conflict analysis. The process is …

We outline an approach to policy specification and analysis in which an information model is
used as the starting point for semi-automated generation of an integrated suite of languages …

We outline a policy conflict analysis process for the analysis of newly specified federation-
