Abstract. Bridging the gap between design and implementation stages has been a major concern that deplores designers, analysts and developers for quite a long time during the design and implementation of information systems in traditional environments. This issue grows to bigger dimension with the presence of cloud computing. Designing and modeling an Information System for the Cloud is a major and hard task that most of the traditional software engineering approaches fail to fulfill. In parallel, many respective organisations and respective researchers have highlighted a number of security and privacy challenges that are not present in traditional environments and need special attention when implementing or migrating information systems into a cloud environment. Thus, security and privacy are by themselves two areas that need special attention in the cloud era. This paper moves on to this direction. Specifically, it presents a number of privacy-oriented technical concepts that analysts need to consider when designing and modeling privacy-aware systems in a cloud environment. Also it suggest for every concept a number of implementation techniques that can assist developers in implementing the respective concepts.
In a different context (designing information systems for the cloud), REF also proposes implementation techniques to make it easier for developers to take into account privacy and security requirements.
