    Abstract

    This paper presents Cologne, a declarative optimization platform that enables
    constraint optimization problems (COPs) to be declaratively specified and
    incrementally executed in distributed systems. Cologne integrates a declarative
    networking engine with an off-the-shelf constraint solver. We have developed
    the Colog language that combines distributed Datalog used in declarative
    networking with language constructs for specifying goals and constraints used
    in COPs.

    Abstract

    In recent years, there has been a proliferation of declarative logic-based
    trust management languages and systems proposed to ease the description,
    configuration, and enforcement of security policies. These systems have
    different tradeoffs in expressiveness and complexity, depending on the security
    constructs (e.g. authentication, delegation, secrecy, etc.) that are supported,
    and the assumed trust level and scale of the execution environment.
