RE '07, pp.5-14, Oct. 2007<br><br> <br/> Law for requirements engineering and system development are important roles. Monitoring systems for requirements and policy compliance has been recognized in the requirements engineering community as a key area for research. This paper surveys research efforts over the past 50 years in handling legal texts for systems development. These efforts include the use of symbolic logic, logic programming, first-order temporal logic, deontic logic, goal modeling, and semi-structured representations. This survey can aid requirements engineers and auditors to better specify, monitor, and test software systems for compliance.
