Recommending Access Policies in Cross-domain Internet

Abstract

As the amount of content and the number of users in social relationships is continually growing in the Internet, resource sharing and access policy management is difficult, time-consuming and error-prone. In order to aid users in the resource-sharing process, the adoption of an entity that recommends users with access policies for their resources is proposed, by the analysis of (i) resource content, (ii) user preferences, (iii) users’ social networks, (iv) semantic information, (v) user feedback about recommendation actions and (vi) provenance/ traceability information gathered from action sensors. A hybrid recommendation engine capable of performing collaborative-filtering was adopted and enhanced to use semantic information. Such recommendation engine translates user and resources’ semantic information and aggregates those with other content, using a collaborative filtering technique. Recommendation of access policies over resources promotes the discovery of known-unknown and unknown-unknown resources to other users that could not even know about the existence of such resources. Evaluation to such recommender system is performed.
