N2 - Policy conflict detection in distributed systems and network management is acrucial issue that strongly influences the management efficiency. In this paper,after investigating thoroughly the related approaches on management policyconflict categorization, a new systematic categorization is proposed that is basedon four main perspectives, namely, modality, manageability, interoperability andsystem specification. Subsequently, an organizational network structure that ismanaged through policies depicts the high applicability of our approach in policyconflict detection, while implementation examples are also given. Finally,conclusions and future work are discussed.
