Abstract

Policies are widely used in modern systems and applications.Recently, it has been recognized that simple decisionsare just not enough for many systems and applications.Many policies require actions to be performed aftera decision is made in accordance with the policy. To addressthis need, this paper studies the notions of obligations,which are those conditions or actions that must be fulfilledby either the users or the system after the decision. This paperformalizes the obligations and investigates mechanismsfor monitoring obligations. Especially, the paper discussesvarious aspects of how the system may compensate unfulfilledobligations.
