Modeling and reconfiguration of critical business processes for the purpose of a Business Continuity Management respecting security, risk and compliance requirements at Credit Suisse using algebraic graph transformation

Critical business processes can fail. Therefore, continuity processes are needed as backup solutions. At the same time business processes are required to comply with security, risk and compliance requirements. In the context discussed here, they should be modeled in a decentralized, local and declarative way, including methodological support by tools. By discussing a simplified loan granting process in the context of a Business Continuity Management System at Credit Suisse, we show how algebraic graph transformation can contribute a methodologically sound solution being compatible with all these requirements in a coherent way. As a consequence significant benefits of automation and quality can be realized. The presented contribution is theoretically sound and implementable by the people in the field.
