Abstract

We report on our use of ActionGUI to develop a secure eHealth application based on the NESSoS eHealth case study. ActionGUI is a novel model-driven methodology with an associated tool for developing secure data-management applications with three distinguishing features. First, it enables a model-based separation of concerns, where behavior and security are modeled individually and subsequently combined. Second, it supports model-based quality assurance checks, where the properties proven about the models transfer to the generated applications. Finally, for data-management applications, the ActionGUI tool automatically generates complete, ready-to-deploy, security-aware, web applications. We explain these features in the context of the eHealth application.
