XML Implementation of Role Based Control in Healthcare Adhoc Networks

As mobile adhoc networks (MANETs) are becoming popular for a variety of applications, so are the issues engulfing corresponding implementations. In this paper, a healthcare application is described for the environment where normal network connectivity may not be available hence adhoc networking of small scale healthcare units and corresponding devices becomes necessary. Different roles of such units are discussed to develop policy framework to facilitate role based access control conformant access. Furthermore, implementation of such access control within a typical healthcare environment is investigated.
