Legal Requirements Process for Compliance and Risk Assessment using Axiomatic Design

Abstract

The paper proposes a model integrating regulatory compliance and risk requirements with the top-down axiomatic design/Complexity theory (AD/CT) theory for cloud contracts. The issue of proper division of tasks between man and machine is discussed. The integrated approach is illustrated addressing legal compliance by design and legal contract risk assessment within the realm of cloud computing for manufacturing small to medium sized enterprise (SME).
