Abstract:

Regulatory compliance management is now widely recognized as one of the main challenges still to be efficiently dealt within information systems. In the discipline of business process management in particular, compliance is considered as an important driver of the efficiency, reliability and market value of companies. It consists of ensuring that enterprise models behave according to some guidance provided in the form of regulations.

Our work proposes a model-driven framework for managing compliance, and covers the activities of modeling, verifying and enforcing compliance requrements. We show why we expect  a formal policy-based and model-driven approach to provide significant advantages in allowing enterprises to flexibly manage decision-making related to regulatory compliance.

For this purpose, we contribute (CoReL*), a domain-specific modeling language for representing compliance requirements that has a graphical concrete syntax. CoReL is based on the concept of business policy as a decision-making unit. We will have a look into the specificities of CoReL, its semantics as well as how checking and enforcement of compliance requirements works.

CoReL allows to leverage business process compliance modeling and checking, enhancing it with along, among other dimensions, user-friendliness, genericity, and traceability.

*CoReL stands for: Compliance Representation/Requirement Language
