Deriving Role Engineering Artifacts from Business Processes and Scenario Models

Scenario-driven role engineering is a systematic approach to engineer and maintain RBAC models. Such as every engineering process, this approach heavily depends on human factors and many of the corresponding engineering tasks must be conducted manually. However, based on the experiences the authors gained from their projects and case studies, they identified several tasks in role engineering that are monotonous, time-consuming, and can get tedious if conducted manually. These tasks include the derivation of candidate RBAC artifacts from business processes and scenario models.
