Agent-Based Semantic Role Mining for Intelligent Access Control in Multi-Domain Collaborative Applications of Smart Cities

Abstract

Significance and popularity of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is inevitable; however, its application is highly challenging in multi-domain collaborative smart city environments. The reason is its limitations in adapting the dynamically changing information of users, tasks, access policies and resources in such applications. It also does not incorporate semantically meaningful business roles, which could have a diverse impact upon access decisions in such multi-domain collaborative business environments. We propose an Intelligent Role-based Access Control (I-RBAC) model that uses intelligent software agents for achieving intelligent access control in such highly dynamic multi-domain environments. The novelty of this model lies in using a core I-RBAC ontology that is developed using real-world semantic business roles as occupational roles provided by Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), USA. It contains around 1400 business roles, from nearly all domains, along with their detailed task descriptions as well as hierarchical relationships among them. The semantic role mining process is performed through intelligent agents that use word embedding and a bidirectional LSTM deep neural network for automated population of organizational ontology from its unstructured text policy and, subsequently, matching this ontology with core I-RBAC ontology to extract unified business roles. The experimentation was performed on a large number of collaboration case scenarios of five multi-domain organizations and promising results were obtained regarding the accuracy of automatically derived RDF triples (Subject, Predicate, Object) from organizational text policies as well as the accuracy of extracted semantically meaningful roles.

Intelligent Tracking of Mechanically Thrown Objects by Industrial Catching Robot for Automated In-Plant Logistics 4.0

“…In fact, the perspective projection of most of the modern cameras can be described well by the pinhole camera model [ 5 ] and that is the reason for choosing pinhole camera model for implementation of virtual cameras in this simulation. It is to be noted that, in our simulation, virtual camera can capture trajectory with any frame rate but we used the frame rate of 60 fps in order to give it compatibility with real world experimental camera’s frame rate.…”

“…LSTM deep neural networks provided best results in forecasting time series data [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ] such as the flight trajectory data in our research problem. However, this algorithm had never been applied in this particular problem of predicting mechanically thrown objects’ trajectories.…”

Digitalized Automation Engineering of Industry 4.0 Production Systems and Their Tight Cooperation with Digital Twins

“…The Industry 4.0 components [2] are equipped with well-defined interfaces, they are more inter-operable and stand-alone. In fact, they adopt basic principles of intelligent agents [3,4] in terms they are typically equipped with a basic knowledge about the environment where they act. However, on the other hand, they are not at all coordinating themselves or intentionally communicating with other agents, as intelligent agents can do.…”
