Abstract

The context-specific approach allows project structures to be depicted across particular organizational boundaries. In this paper, we apply context-specific methods to model approval processes for identity management systems (IdM) in a federated application domain. This view reduces complexity and a model was created and implemented in our IdM. The modeling language has process-oriented elements and can be used for software-based implementation in the IdM. Communicational interactions between organizational units and technical systems were modeled for our application domain. The graph-based view of the modeling language can be used to make network analyses of the specified issue. These analyses are evaluated in this paper.
