Managing Costs and Variability of Security Services
Cynthia E. Irvine, Tim Levin, B.J. Allen, Evie Spyropoulou · 2001
When an application is submitted for execution in a network, where geographically distributed, heterogeneous resources are available, a Quality of Service (QoS) middleware mechanism can be used to intermediate and schedule the application for execution. In our research we are working on including security as a dimension of QoS. Quality of Security Service (QoSS) is enabled when users or network tasks are presented with variable levels of security services and requirements, from which the desired level for the security dimension can be selected.
