Merging regulations: Analysis of a practical example
Frédéric Cuppens, Laurence Cholvy, Claire Saurel, Jérome Carrère · International Journal of Intelligent Systems · 2001
It often happens that organizations or companies have to respect several regulations simultaneously. Here, we analyze a practical example which applies to the context of documents containing sensitive information. This example considers the problem of downgrading the classification of these documents when their contents become obsolete. There are several regulations that deal with this problem and it appears that these regulations are conflicting. In this article, we suggest a general approach to detect and solve the conflicts between the regulations and show how it applies to our practical example. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
