چکیده

Although security is an important issue when developing complex computerised systems, very little work has been done in integrating security concerns in the agentoriented methodologies. This paper introduces extensions to the Tropos methodology to accommodate security. A description of new concepts is given along with an explanation of how these concepts are integrated to the current stages of Tropos. The above is illustrated using an agent-based health and social care information system as a case study.

A CASE Tool to Support Automated Modelling and Analysis of Security Requirements, Based on Secure Tropos

Secure Tropos, an extension of the Tropos methodology, considers security requirements alongside functional requirements, from the early stages of the system development process. The Secure Tropos language uses security concepts such as security constraint, secure goal, secure plan, secure resource, and threat to capture the security concepts from both social and organisational settings. These ...

SecTro: A CASE Tool for Modelling Security in Requirements Engineering using Secure Tropos

Secure Tropos is an extension of Tropos methodology, which considers security throughout the whole development process. The main concept of Secure Tropos is the security constraint that captures constraints regarding security. Similarly, the concepts of dependency, goal, task, resource, and capability were also extended with security in mind. In this paper we present the SecTro tool, a CASE too...

The Tropos Metamodel and its Use

Tropos is a software development methodology founded on the key concepts of agent-oriented software development. Specifically, Tropos emphasizes concepts for modelling and analysis during the early requirements phase. This phase precedes the prescriptive requirements specification of the system-to-be. In this paper, we present the Tropos metamodel starting from the basic concepts of actor, goal...

Secure Tropos: a Security-Oriented Extension of the Tropos Methodology

Although security plays an important role in the development of multiagent systems, a careful analysis of software development processes shows that the definition of security requirements is, usually, considered after the design of the system. One of the reasons is the fact that agent oriented software engineering methodologies have not integrated security concerns throughout their developing s...

Modelling Secure Systems Using an Agent-oriented Approach and Security Patterns

In this paper we describe an approach for modelling security issues in information systems. It is based on an agent-oriented approach, and extends it with the use of security patterns. Agent-oriented software engineering provides advantages when modeling security issues, since agents are often a natural way of conceptualizing an information system, in particular at the requirements stage, when ...
