Towards model-centric engineering of a dynamic access control product line
Mahdi Derakhshanmanesh, Mazeiar Salehie, Jürgen Ebert · 2012
Access control systems are deployed in organizations to protect critical cyber-physical assets. These systems need to be adjustable to cope with different contextual factors like changes in resources or requirements. Still, adaptation is often performed manually. In addition, different product variants of access control systems need to developed together systematically. These characteristics demand a product line engineering approach for enhanced reuse. Moreover, to cope with uncertainty at runtime, adaptivity, i.e., switching between variations in a cyber-physical domain (reconfiguration) and adjusting access policies (behavior adaptation), needs to be supported.
