Model management for regulatory compliance

Abstract

Software has come to mediate many of the activities in life, including financial service platforms, social networks and vehicle control. As a result, governing bodies have responded to this trend by creating standards and regulations to address issues such as safety and privacy. In this context, the compliance of software development to standards and regulations has emerged as a key issue. For software development organizations, compliance is a complex and costly goal to achieve. They may have to comply with multiple standards due to multiple jurisdictions or to address different aspects of the software and these may overlap and conflict with each other. The evolution of standards must be tracked and changes assessed. Evidence for claims of compliance must be collected and managed. Finally, maintaining families of related software products (product lines) further multiplies the effort. In this paper, we propose to exploit the connection between the field of model management and the problem of compliance management and explore how to use model management techniques to address software compliance management issues.
