ABSTRACT
The same advances in computer hardware that have revolutionized computing now promise to make a substantial improvement in the way resources can be accessed over a network. The most significant development is the availability of powerful but low-cost microcomputers. For approximately $2,500 it is now possible to make available a microcomputer that: 1) greatly simplifies access to a given network resource, especially for the untrained, non-technical person; 2) can substantially reduce the cost of communications; and 3) provides valuable local computing services on its own, without resorting to a remote network computer.
The topic of this paper is a hardware/software system that functions both as a stand-alone microcomputer system and, using special access software, as an intelligent terminal useful in accessing the large computer systems that supply services through EDUNET. The current implementation of EASy is based on a 48K AppleTM II Plus system with the “Language Systems” card that supports UCSD PascalTM, a Disk II floppy disk subsystem, and a communications card for network access or connection of external devices.

PBDM: a flexible delegation model in RBAC
SACMAT '03: Proceedings of the eighth ACM symposium on Access control models and technologiesRole-based access control (RBAC) is recognized as an efficient access control model for large organizations. Most organizations have some business rules related to access control policy. Delegation of authority is among these rules. RBDM0 and RDM2000 ...
