	abstract = {RFID and WSN technologies are widely used in today{\textquoteright}s pervasive computing. In Wireless Sensor Networks, sensor nodes sense the physical environment and send the sensed data to the sink by multi-hops. WSN are used in many applications such as military and environment monitoring. In Radio Frequency Identification, a unique ID is assigned to a RFID tag which is associated with a real world object. RFID applications cover many areas such as Supply Chain Management (SCM), healthcare, library management, automatic toll collection, etc. The integration of both technologies will bring many advantages in the future of ubiquitous computing, through the provision of real-world tracking and context information about the objects. This will increase considerably the automation of an information system. In order to process the large volume of data captured by sensors and RFID readers in real time, a middleware solution is needed. This middleware should be designed in a way to allow the aggregation, filtering and grouping of the data captured by the hardware devices before sending them to the backend applications. In this paper we demonstrate how our middleware solution called FlexRFID handles large amount of RFID and sensor scan data, and executes applications{\textquoteright} business rules in real time through its policy-based Business Rules layer. The FlexRFID middleware provides easy addition and removal of hardware devices that capture data, as well as uses the business rules of the applications to control all its services. We demonstrate how the middleware controls some defined healthcare scenarios, and deals with the access control security concern to sensitive healthcare data through the use of policies.},

	abstract = {Cloud computing is amongst the major topics researched in Computer Science. Cloud computing security is at the heart of the topic. The reason behind this is that, as a technology, cloud computing is a great alternative that allows companies to outsource the management of their computing resources. However, due to the security issues, the cloud technology is not reaching its full potential. In this paper we present a system that allows the enforcement of privacy, accountability, integrity, and availability in each one of cloud computing levels using software policies. We present and describe the architecture of the Policy-Based Security Middleware as a Service.},
