Ruth Breu has been head of the research group Quality Engineering at the University of Innsbruck since 2002. Prior to that, she was a researcher at the Technische Universität München and Universität Passau, and spent several years in industry working as a software engineering consultant. Quality Engineering focuses on foundations of model-based software development, in particular in the areas of security engineering, IT governance, model quality assessment and workflow management systems. The research group cooperates with industry partners such as Siemens, Swiss Re and Telekom Austria.

From the reviews:

"The book is an important reference for professionals engaged in designing security-critical SOA systems. The authors provide an in-depth treatment of security engineering methods using advanced model-based design technology. The detailed examples and case studies make the work extremely valuable for practicing engineers as well as students." - Prof. Janos Sztipanovits, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA

"Providing the bridge between business and IT the paradigm of service-oriented architecture has an important impact on the future structuring of IT landscapes. Though security is a crucial requirement for many service oriented systems it is too often handled at a mere technical level. With their book, Hafner and Breu provide a valuable contribution to handle security requirements at the business level and to develop sustainable service oriented solutions." - Prof. Dr. Gregor Engels, University of Paderborn and Scientific Director of sd&m Research, Munich ,Germany

"Going beyond applied SOA-concepts this book provides a method how to model and integrate security aspects. Including a proof of concept and practical experiences of two real projects it provides a useful reference to everyone dealing with SOA-requirements." - Alexander Lechner, Senior Technical Consultant, world-direct eBusiness/Telekom Austria

"Even as a security professional, skilled in low-level computer security mechanisms and details, I cannot ignore the ever growing requests and demands of implementing and enforcing security at higher-levels of the system stack and consider the tremendous advantages of large scale service-oriented architectures for modern software engineering efforts. The model-driven security engineering approach as described here by Hafner and Breu provides an excellent introduction into the very practical and useful topic of modeling and understanding the overall system security at a very high level and then
