On June 29th, the PaaSword consortium and the PaaSword Advisory Board met at Siemens in Bucharest, Romania. The consortium presented the first results from the PaaSword project to the Advisory Board consisting of: Prof. Dr. Jens-Matthias Bohli (NEC Labs Europe; HS Mannheim), Marina Bitmann (Data officer, KIT), Tom Flynn (CEO, TFC Research and Innovation) and Daniele Cattedu (Managing Director, EMEA, Cloud Security Alliance). In a live demonstration, UBITECH presented among others the Context Model editor and the Access Policy editor for flexible, context-sensitive Policy Governance, which is used to develop secure Cloud applications. PaaSword framework is designed to help the PaaSword Administrator, the Product Manager or even the Cloud Application developer instantiate and customize the semantic background (i.e. the PaaSword Context Model) based on which PaaSword Access Policies can be defined – in the Access Policy Editor. The instantiation and customization of the semantic background is performed using the web-based Context Model Editor. The Context Model Editor provides a UI through which a user primes the Context Model. Recall that the Context Model provides the necessary underlying ontological infrastructure, i.e. the concepts, properties and instances, in terms of which the attributes of a policy are specified. Through this editor, users can perform many actions, which are automatically interpreted to RDF data format and then stored to PaaSword models triple store.
