Based on the Redundant Positioning architecture introduced prev iously, this paper discusses the issues of managing positioning and contex t data between applications and across different administrativ e domains, with a focus on implementing security and priv acy concepts, for autonomic dev ices and communications. .I ntr od uctionOn e of t h e goa l s of t h e c u rren t res ea rc h in autonomic communications is t o in t egra t e s ervic e a n d n etwork ma n a gemen t in a s ea ml es s c on t in u u m of d oma in s , wh erein b u s in es s l evel ma n a gemen t d ec is ion s c a n b e a u t oma t ic a l l y t ra n s l a t ed t o s ervic e ma n a gemen t d ec is ion s , wh ic h c a n t h en b e t ra n s l a t ed t o l ow l evel n et work ma n a gemen t op era t ion s .
