Security and Safety of Assets in Business Processes

Ganna Monakova and Achim D. Brucker and Andreas Schaad

Business processes and service compositions are defined independent of the realizing systems. The visualization of security and safety constraints on the business process model level appears to be a promising approach to system independent specification of the security and safety requirements. Such requirements can be realized through business process annotation and used for communication or documentation, but they also can have an execution semantics that allows for automating the security and safety controls. In this paper, we present a tool-supported framework that extends modeling and execution of business processes with specification, execution and monitoring of the security and safety constraints that are used to protect business assets. We illustrate our approach on basis of a case study modeling a supply chain for perishable goods.
