             IEEE 4th International Workshop on Policies
                for Distributed Systems and Networks

Policy-based systems continue to be the subject of a wide range of activities 
in universities, standardization bodies and within industry. They have a wide 
spectrum of applicability ranging from systems management, to quality of 
service adaptation, to security and enterprise modeling. POLICY 2003 is the 
fourth in a successful series of workshops, which since 1999, has brought 
together leading researchers and industry experts to discuss problems, 
solutions and experiences in developing policy-based systems. Last year, 
we co-located POLICY 2002 with SACMAT 2002 in order to encourage greater 
interaction with other communities. This turned out to be a resounding success 
and both communities agreed to do the same in 2003. Thus, once again, 
attendees will have the opportunity to register for both conferences.
