摘要

Laws and regulations impact the design of software systems, as they may introduce additional requirements and possible conflicts with pre-existing requirements. We propose a systematic, tool-supported process for establishing compliance of a software system with a given law. The process elicits new requirements from the law, compares them with existing ones and manages conflicts, exploiting a set of heuristics, partially supported by a tool. We illustrate our proposal through an exploratory study using the Italian Privacy Law. We also present results of a preliminary empirical study that indicates that adoption of the process improves compliance analysis for a simple compliance scenario.
