Abstract
This paper introduces the policy uniform concept model and defines the general policy specification language-GPSL based on the formal foundation of DDL. Compared with other policy languages, GPSL describes the general concept model providing the support for the policies including action, goal, utility and so on. Moreover GPSL provides the support for complex action composition and description to define complex system behavior. To resolve the policy conflicts we use meta-policy to illustrate the policy relationships and owl to define policy ontology. Finally this paper analyzes the policy implementation in autonomic computing system.
