Abstract

Nowadays, business processes (BP) are important in the maintenance of competitiveness within enterprises. Moreover, security is a crucial issue in business performance. In the last few years, the languages used for BP representation have been improved and new notations have appeared. Proposals for security requirement specifications at this high level of abstraction have also appeared. Nevertheless, these models have not been transformed into concrete models that can be used in a software development process. In our proposal, we will obtain analysis-level classes from a business process specification in which security requirements are included. Model transformations are within the scope of MDA and they are specified by using the QVT standard. Finally, we shall apply this approach to a typical health-care business process.
