Abstract

This paper addresses the increasing demand for robustness and reliability in modern software-defined networks, particularly in the context of critical business applications such as the healthcare domain. Traditional network architectures are vulnerable to both unintentional and intentional failures, leading to significant financial losses, especially in the healthcare sector. The paper propose a formal model for attribute-based information flow control in database-defined networks, which leverages attributes to evaluate compliance with desired network conditions, such as the quality of connectivity. Additionally, the paper employs deontic logic to define permissible, prohibited and obligatory changes to network configuration tables. The paper demonstrate how this model can enhance the management of body-area networks and ensure quality of service in healthcare monitoring. The findings suggest a promising direction for improving network reliability and security.
