Parisa ensures compliance with legal standards in software development.
For software systems to meet public standards, they must comply with various regulations, policies, mandates, and guidelines. As a researcher in the Requirements Engineering competence field, I am therefore concerned with the development of a tool-supported approach for the automatic extraction and conformance checking of legal requirements from legal texts. One crucial step towards achieving this compliance is to ensure that the software requirements align with the relevant regulatory artifacts. However, this task can be labor-intensive and error-prone. To address this challenge, my research aims to develop an innovative approach for automatically collecting requirements from regulatory texts. By integrating compliance checks that compare the requirements against the relevant regulatory texts, this approach seeks to facilitate developers' understanding of how regulatory requirements can be incorporated into software engineering, and how to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
I'm motivated by a passion for research and the hope that my results will be used in the industry. At fortiss, the emphasis is on bridging the gap between research and industry, which provides a sustainable and pragmatic framework for my work. In today's multifaceted business environment, companies face various mandatory regulations from different sources, making compliance a critical concern. This is why I am intrigued by the prospect of automated compliance checks.
During my master's studies at the Technical University Munich, I heard about fortiss through some of my fellow students who worked here as student assistants. I then did my master's thesis at one of the software and systems engineering chair at the university, which is closely connected to fortiss.
fortiss offers me a flexible environment for learning new tools and exploring new research areas. In addition, the institute has a young environment with competent colleagues who are willing to help each other, which makes the workplace less stressful.
I especially appreciate the summer school, which gives me the opportunity to collaborate and network with other researchers. In addition, the close collaboration with industry partners has allowed me to target my research more specifically and precisely.
fortiss gives every dedicated researcher the freedom to find his or her own topic. The colleagues are simply great and the exchange with them brings me further every day, both professionally and personally.
