Abstract: Policy conflicts detection and resolution in distributed management systems are very crucial issues which strongly influence the efficiency of management. In this paper, first the management policies are discussed in the context of their complexity in the management structures. Next, the policy conflicts that may arise in a management hierarchy are examined along with the various proposed resolutions techniques in the literature. Then, the significance of propagation policies down through a management hierarchy is examined. A conflict resolution algorithm for propagation policies is proposed based on similar well-known inheritance mechanisms used in the object-oriented programming. Next, fruitful case examples in the cloud computing services and internet of things (IoT) management depict the high value of the proposed algorithm in distributed systems and network policy-based management. Finally, open issues and future work are discussed.
