Abstract

Feature interaction is a problem mostly considered in the context of telephony features, but present in other domains. In this paper we consider policies (independent of the system that they control) as an application domain for feature interaction techniques. We present the feature interaction problem as it occurs in the policy context and show how it can be approached. We give a taxonomy for policy conflict, and introduce a generic architecture for handling policy conflict.
