Abstract:

Business and Information Technologies alignment is a very important topic when it comes to the software development process of information systems (IS) and, particularly, to the requirements elicitation and system design. The privacy and security concern are an essential part of the system requirements in the development of safety-critical information systems. These issues have to be addressed accurately throughout the whole software development lifecycle starting from business needs in order to emphasize and engage the stakeholders’ vision on this type of requirements. This research paper addresses the model-driven approach (MDA) and its computational independent models in order to broaden it from the business perspective for addressing privacy and security constraints of future information system. The proposed CIM extension was demonstrated in appliance to case study for modelling the business requirements behind the safety-critical IS.
