Security is an essential requirement for business processes. However, we observe that security is mostly addressed at the technical implementation level and not at the design level. In a previous work we motivated the need to address security already in business process modeling. In this paper, we show how one could use Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) to enforce security requirements in a modular way. Starting from a business process model where security requirements are expressed using a profile mechanism we generate As-pectJ [1] code, which enforces those requirements. This generation is based on a set of Model-to-Text transformation rules. As security is a typical example for crosscutting concerns the usage of aspects allows for a modular implementation, in which the implementation of the business process is separated from the implementation of the security properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
