Moreover, the popularity of semantic technologies and the semantic web has provided several beneficial opportunities for the modeling and computer security communities of interest. This paper describes the role of ontologies in facilitating network security modeling. It outlines the technical challenges in distributed network security simulation modeling and describes how ontologybased methods may be applied to address these challenges. The paper concludes by describing an ontology-based solution framework for network security simulation modeling and analysis and outlining the benefits of this solution approach. �2008 IEEE.en-USComputer securityDistributed networksNetwork security simulationsOntology-basedSecurity modelingSemantic technologiesSolution approachTechnical challengesComputer simulationInnovationKnowledge based systemsOntologySecurity systemsSemantic WebSemanticsNetwork securityConference Paper2672714781636
