Abstract

To develop with lower costs information systems that do not violate regulations, it is necessary to elicit requirements compliant to the regulations. Automated supports allow us to avoid missing requirements necessary to comply with regulations and to exclude functional requirements against the regulations. In this paper, we propose a technique to detect goals relevant to regulations in a goal model and to add goals so that the resulting goal model can be compliant to the regulations. In this approach, we obtain the goals relevant to regulations by semantically matching goal descriptions to regulatory statements. We use Case Grammar approach to deal with the meaning of goal descriptions and regulatory statements, i.e., both are transformed to case frames as their semantic representations, and we check if their case frames can be unified. After detecting the relevant goals, based on the modality of matched regulatory statements, new goals to realize the compliance to regulatory statements are added to the goal model. We made case studies and had a result that 93% of regulatory violations could be corrected.
