Enabling context-aware and privacy-conscious user data sharing

Abstract
This paper provides detail on two key components of the Houdini framework under development at Bell Labs, that enable context-aware and privacy-conscious user data sharing appropriate for mobile and/or ubiquitous comput-ing. The framework includes an approach for integrating data from diverse sources, for gathering user preferences for what data to share and when to share it, and a pol-icy management infrastructure in the network for enforcing those preferences. The current paper focuses on two com-ponents of this infrastructure that are essential for mobile and ubiquitous computing, namely the framework to sup-port self-provisioning of preferences, and the performance of the underlying rules engine.
