The G-ACM Tool: using the Drools Rule Engine for Access Control Management

This work addresses access control management for system administrators, but it appears incremental as it applies an existing rule engine to a known metamodel without claiming major breakthroughs.

The authors tackled the problem of visualizing dynamic access control policies by using the Drools rule engine within a graphical framework, resulting in a tool called G-ACM that computes permissions based on the Category-Based Access Control metamodel.
