The combination of integrated software controlling devices, networking capabilities, and sensing/actuation technologies in Medical Cyber-Physical Systems (M-CPS) highlights some research challenges specific to this class of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The major challenge is ensuring the confidentiality of the data or resources that they handle. In this paper, we tackle this problem by proposing a formal approach that combines CA-BRS (Control Agent and Bigraphical Reactive Systems) and BPMN (Business Process Model Notation) to specify and analyze CPS in general, while respecting several dimensions. The CPS structural dimension, which represents the space (physical and cyber entities) in which agents exist and interact, is defined by the Bigraphs. Control agents constituting the virtual dimension observe and control the physical and cyber entities of their environment. The complex and adaptive behavior of a CPS (behavioral dimension) is defined through several types of rules; each manages a possible evolution of a CPS component (physical, cyber or virtual). Two distinctive perspectives are associated with the semantic interpretation of these rules: states and activities. Both perspectives are defined with a particular semantics and notations. This study focuses on the activities perspective that specifies the behavior of control agents using a BPMN activity diagram. This highlights how these two models (CA-BRS and BPMN) complement each other to assist designers in defining formal models for CPS. Additionally, it reveals how to provide the CA-BRS model with means of controlling unauthorized access to an Electronic Health Record system.

“…According to A. Raj, A. Agrawal, and T. Prabhakar [18] the advantages of SBVR are its declarative nature, rulebased modeling approach, natural language representation, and backbone of formal logic. O. Chaparro, J. Aponte, F. Ortega, and A. Marcus [19] define the key concepts of BRs in SBVR: (1) business vocabulary: common business vocabulary, built from concepts, terms, and types of fact; (2) business rules (BR): statements/sentences based on types of fact that guide the business operation or business structure; (3) semantic formulation: the way of structuring the meaning rules through several logical formulations, Fig.1 shows an overview of SBVR divided into business vocabulary models and business rule models. The business vocabulary model is divided into concept types and fact types.…”

Danikauskas [19] proposed the semi-automatic business vocabulary extraction algorithm, which consists of three steps: (1) extracting and handling 'text rumbling' (unstructured text information that is still in the problem domain); (2) establishing SBVR business vocabulary entries; and (3) validating SBVR business vocabulary with domain experts. This research conducted semi-automatic business vocabulary extraction from a business process model.…”

The Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR) standard was developed by the Object Management Group (OMG) for business purposes. SBVR is used for transformation of business vocabulary and business rules into business processes. Gateways are used for regulating the divergence and convergence of flow objects in the business process. The existing business rules in SVBR do not support all gateways in BPMN, whereas there are conditions where branching situations in business rules occur. This article introduces parallelism rules (OR rules) and complex rules to increase 50.6% usage of the existing AND rules and XOR rules in SBVR. The main contribution of this research is to introduce new formal model of inclusive gateway (OR) and complex gateway that allow parallelism and branching to be modeled using SBVR. Thus, this study increases coverage of the usage gateway in SBVR achieved 66.7%. The authors provide branching cases with various levels of complexity, i.e. nested conditions and non-free choice conditions, using the formal description of SBVR.
