For example, developing a software system that can prevent the leakage of information during system execution is an important issue. The prevention can be achieved by embedding an information flow control model into the system. Since different teams may be familiar with different information flow control models, selecting a model is crucial. In general, two approaches can be considered. They are: (a) embedding the same information flow control model in every subsystem and (b) embedding different models in different subsystems. In the first approach, engineers may be unwilling to use unfamiliar models and the concept of reuse cannot be applied. We suggest the second approach and propose a model IFCMC (information flow control model coordinator) to integrate different information flow control models. This thesis presents IFCMC.
