Security Policy Consistency
With the advent of wide security platforms able to express simultaneously all
the policies comprising an organization's global security policy, the problem
of inconsistencies within security policies become harder and more relevant.
We have defined a tool based on the CHR language which is able to detect
several types of inconsistencies within and between security policies and other
specifications, namely workflow specifications.
Although the problem of security conflicts has been addressed by several
authors, to our knowledge none has addressed the general problem of security
inconsistencies, on its several definitions and target specifications.Comment: To appear in the first CL2000 workshop on Rule-Based Constraint

Public transport towards sustainability in midsized municiplaities
Publicado em "Recent Advances in Engineering Mechanics, Structures and Urban Planning" (ISBN : 978-1-61804-165-4) ; Mathematics and Computers in Science and Engineering Series, 8 (ISSN : 2227-4588)The concept of sustainable urban mobility is related with the movement of people and goods in urban
areas. However, this perspective is restrictive when the purpose is to address the problem of sustainability to an
urban system of transport, in a big city, or as in this work, in urban areas of small and midsized municipalities,
particularly in relation to the evaluation of economic, social, environmental and governance dimensions of the
sustainable mobility. The assessment of mobility in urban areas implies the characterization of such areas,
particularly in terms of geographic and socio-economic perspectives in order to understand and justify some
issues of the existing relation between land use and transports. The framework of the transport system is related
with the size of the municipalities. In this work an evaluation model of sustainability is proposed - that can be
applied to evaluate and compare the level of sustainability in different urban areas of a system of public
transports by bus, which can be also applied toother modes of transport. The model consists of a previous
selection of indicators that characterize all dimensions of sustainability, which are then used in a multicriteria
analysis. The weight of the indicators is defined by different groups of stakeholders related with the public
transport system, mainly those concerned with decision-making process to promote its use at a local level, with
the intention of defining priorities for improvement of public transport
