Compliance in e-government service engineering: State-of-the-art

Abstract

Today's organizations are faced with the need to conform to various laws and regulations governing their domain of activity. The information systems (IS) supporting organizational activities have to align to these enforcements as well. The obligation of compliance is particularly stressed in domains in which legal framework determines the entire functioning of an organization. E-government is such a domain. This state-of-the-art study aims to investigate the practices of regulation analysis for extracting key information for IS engineering. The study addresses the practices in any regulation domain, not only the one of e-Government, and will focus on approaches aiming to achieve and maintain regulatory compliance of IS and services with given regulations. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
