An information flow control model for software processes that manages developer associations

A software process (software development process) should be followed to develop software. As agreed, process-centered software engineering environments (PSEEs) facilitate controlling complicated software processes. Quite a few issues regarding PSEE such as process evolution support have been addressed. Nevertheless, PSEE researchers have generally ignored the important issues of ensuring secure product access during process execution. This can be achieved through information flow control. This paper proposes an information flow control model to ensure secure product access. The model also manages developer associations and adapts to developer association change.
