The system is mainly used by the people in the personnel department to browse some private information such as salary information as well as employee names. Since employee names are classified as a lower security category, they can be accessed from broader set of people. In this example, each initiator gets different view according to the access control policies and group definitions. XML access control is used to determine whether or not the initiator is allowed to read as fine as a single element within the personnel XML document. This application simulates a typical review process for academic papers.
Authors submit their papers to the submission server.
A chairperson assigns one or more reviewers to each submitted paper. The reviewers read the assigned paper and evaluate it. The program committee members read the reviewers' evaluations and decide whether or not each paper should be accepted. The chairperson decides on the list of accepted papers. The authors receive notifications of acceptance or rejection.
