Abstract

This paper traces the history of policy-based management and how it evolved from the first security models dating back to the late 1960’s until today’s more elaborate frameworks, languages, and policy-based management tools. The focus will be on providing a synthesized chronicle of the evolution of ideas and research trends rather than on surveying the various specification formalisms, frameworks, and application domains of policy-based management.
