Abstract:
1. A method for creating a policy workbench for a given domain, comprising: analyzing a domain; and generating automatically by a processor, a domain-specific policy workbench instance specific to the analyzed domain, the domain-specific policy workbench instance including at least an authoring tool that allows a user to create and modify a given policy, a mapping tool that allows a user to create a mapping for the domain-specific policy workbench instance to map one or more elements from a target system to one or more elements of the given policy, and a compliance auditing tool that allows a user to verify that a target system activity complies with the given policy, the generating including at least: determining syntax and structure of one or more policies in the analyzed domain; creating a mapping framework that maps elements of the one or more policies to elements of the domain; building, by a processor, using the determined syntax and structure of one or more policies in the analyzed domains a code to store a given policy and a code to provide a machine-readable encodings of the given policy and mapping based on the mapping framework; and creating, by a processor, an authoring tool for authoring a domain-specific policy using at least the determined syntax and structure.
