Achieve Your Goal Without Dying in the Attempt: Developing an Area-Based Support for Nomadic Work

Abstract

Organizations are constantly navigating a complex landscape of users, information, and security policies. Nomadic workers and visitors move throughout the organization, accessing resources and services to accomplish their goals. However, existing access control solutions often follow a general-purpose centralized approach, which can lead to limitations such as system bottlenecks and failures, and misunderstanding and confusion in people. In some cases, access control is performed in a manual way by the own workers. In this paper, we propose an innovative solution: an Area Management System (AMS) that addresses the unique needs of nomadic users. AMS takes into account the goals and requirements of nomadic users, the security policies of organizations, and the permissions and restrictions of specific areas. By distributing access control management, our solution can provide a more efficient and comprehensive approach to administrating resources, services, and information within an area.
