The majority of faults and consequent errors andfailures in computer systems stem from the complexityof the system itself [9]. Yet complexity as a non-functionalproperty is largely disregarded from initialdevelopment phases or at best is considered"manageable" by the process life cycle. Although atlarge the property is considered as having beingconquered, valid sources inform us [8] that complexityas a property -borne by the system or emergent- is thecause of most failures. Furthermore the second mostfrequent case of failures is that of interaction with thesystem. In this paper we are looking at one aspect ofprocess interactions. We are presenting a method formodeling and analyzing information system processinteractions for the purpose of enhancing security. Thepaper introduces our work in the area of complexsystems and gives a general introduction to ourmodeling methodology and its usage.
