Regulatory Compliance in Software Services Using Emerging Technologies

Compliance with regulations is a mandatory requirement for services computing, but software developers face significant challenges to incorporate regulatory compliance in software services due to the complexity of legal and quality requirements across various domains. In this paper, desirable qualities of software services to improve regulatory compliance are discussed. The use of emerging technologies, such as hyper-intelligence, smart blockchain, and spatial computing, which are promising to improve regulatory compliance in software services, is discussed. A process is presented for improving the incorporation of regulatory compliance in software services development using emerging technologies and DevRegOps. Healthcare and financial applications are used as examples to show where regulatory compliance in software services can be improved.
