  • radon in schools a brief review of state Laws and Regulations in the united states
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2018
    Co-Authors: Kelsey Gordon, Paul D Terry, Xingxing Liu, Tiffany Harris, Don Vowell, Bud Yard, Jiangang Chen
    Abstract:

    Exposure to Radon, a colorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas, is one of leading causes of lung cancer, and may pose a significant long-term risk for school age children. We examined the Regulations and statutes in each US state related to radon in schools to delineate key features of policies and discrepancies among states that may have public health implications. Search terms such as “radon”, “school”, “mitigation”, “certification”, “licensing”, and “radon resistant new construction” were used to scan current statutes from each state legislature’s website and Regulations from official state government websites for relevant regulatory and statutory requirements concerning radon in schools. State Regulations related to the testing, mitigation, and public dissemination of radon levels in schools are inconsistent and the lack of nationwide indoor radon policy for schools may result in unacceptably high radon exposure levels in some US schools. We highlight the features and discrepancies of state Laws and Regulations concerning radon in schools, and offer several constructive means to reduce risks associated with radon exposure in school children.

  • extracting security requirements from relevant Laws and Regulations
    Research Challenges in Information Science, 2012
    Co-Authors: Fatemeh Zarrabi Jorshari, Haralambos Mouratidis, Shareeful Islam
    Abstract:

    For software systems that process and manage sensitive information, compliance with Laws has become not an option but a necessity. Analysing relevant Laws and aligning them with the system requirements is necessary for attaining compliance issues. But analyzing Laws within the context of software system requirements is a difficult task, mainly because the concepts used in legal texts are different compared to the concepts used in requirements engineering. This paper contributes to that direction. In particular it presents a process to model and analyse Laws and Regulations and to support the elicitation of security requirements based on the relevant legal and system context. Finally a case study is used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.

  • towards a framework to elicit and manage security and privacy requirements from Laws and Regulations
    Requirements Engineering: Foundation for Software Quality, 2010
    Co-Authors: Shareeful Islam, Haralambos Mouratidis, Stefan Wagner
    Abstract:

    [Context and motivation] The increasing demand of software systems to process and manage sensitive information has led to the need that software systems should comply with relevant Laws and Regulations, which enforce the privacy and other aspects of the stored information. [Question/problem] However, the task is challenging because concepts and terminology used for requirements engineering are mostly different to those used in the legal domain and there is a lack of appropriate modelling languages and techniques to support such activities. [Principal ideas/results] The legislation need to be analysed and align with the system requirements. [Contribution] This paper motivates the need to introduce a framework to assist the elicitation and management of security and privacy requirements from relevant legislation and it briefly presents the foundations of such a framework along with an example.
