Abstract

Policies are being widely used in a variety of applications such as healthcare, disaster management and mobile networking. In this paper, we show how policies can be used to manage the resources effectively and in a user friendly way. Further, we advocate that while an agent is required to obey a given policy requirement, there are situations where the agent may consider the possibility of violating the policy (policy deviation) such as in an emergency or during a disaster. Our simulation results show that sometimes policy violations can be beneficial to the community of (application) agents and such violations must be managed carefully .
