Abstract
The PolicyUpdatersystem is a fully-implemented access control system that provides policy evaluations as well as dynamic policy updates. These functions are achieved by the use of a logic-based language \(\mathcal{L}\) to represent the underlying access control policies, constraints and update propositions. The system performs authorisation query evaluations and conditional policy updates by translating the language \(\mathcal{L}\) to a normal logic program in a form suitable for evaluation using the Stable Model semantics.
