Abstract
For better resource management and security of the network infrastructure, access to its resources is often regulated via policies based on user's credentials. Moreover, if the network infrastructure is shared among multiple organizations then resources are not always equally available to all the users. In order to regulate access to the network resources frameworks and mechanisms are needed to define, modify and enforce policies. In the last part of this thesis, we present a policy enforcement framework that enables resource-sharing among multiple parties in a shared network infrastructure. We explore how to enable end-users and policy makers to use human readable formats for system management and transparently transform human understandable policies to machine-level constraints for application configuration. We present a set language based approach to produce restricted set of resources for executable application configuration of a user request based on declared policies and user's privileges.
