Abstract

New technologies like cloud computing and new business models bring new capabilities for hosting and offering complex collaborative business operations. However, these advances can also bring undesirable side-effects, e.g., introducing new vulnerabilities and threats caused by collaboration and data exchange over the Internet. Hence, users become more concerned about the trust, e.g., trust in services for critical business processes with sensitive data. Since trust is subjective, trustworthiness requirements for addressing trust concerns are difficult to elicit, especially if there are different parties involved in the business process. In this paper, we propose a user-centered trustworthiness requirement analysis and modeling framework. Using goal models for capturing the users’ trust concerns can motivate design decisions with respect to trustworthiness. We purpose integrating the subjective trust concerns into goal models and embedding them into business process models as objective trustworthiness requirements. This paper addresses the gap in considering trustworthiness requirements during automation (in providing supporting software) of business processes. We demonstrate our approach on an application example from the health-care domain.
