From secure business process models to secure artifact-centric specifications

Making today’s systems secure is an extremely difficult and challenging problem. Socio and technical issues interplay and contribute in creating vulnerabilities that cannot be easily prevented without a comprehensive engineering method. This paper presents a novel approach to support process-aware secure systems modeling and automated generation of secure artifact-centric implementations. It combines social and technical perspectives in developing secure systems. This work is the result of an academic and industrial collaboration, where SecBPMN2, a research prototype, has been integrated with SAP River, an industrial artifact-centric language.
