Accountability provides the necessary assurance to different stakeholders (customers, auditors, regulators) about the correct execution of the obligations concerning compliance requirements. Modeling accountability in a business process is an important problem, as SOA is the generally accepted standard for IT systems. This requires the orchestration of several non-functional concerns across services (such as authentication, authorization, logging, among others) to attest the correct operation of control activities. In this paper, we show how a model-driven framework for non-functional concerns can integrate accountability in business processes. Using the NFComp modeling framework, we define and compose a set of non-functional concerns that securely assert that subjects have fulfilled their responsibilities, towards realizing accountability. The approach allows the reuse of the composed accountability concerns in different processes.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-662-43745-2_13
