Abstract
The existing authorization policy language and technologies in traditional distributed systems can not meet the requirements of dynamic ubiquitous computing environment. The provision of an efficient and flexible policy specification approach is needed to support the deployment of access control of mobile computing applications. This paper introduces a deontic concepts based approach for security policy specification in the wireless, mobile computing environment, considers in particular the problems that can arise when collaborative commitment are negotiated via agents communication, and give the description of relationship between obligation and commitment in the specific organization domains.
