Martin Glinz, program chair of the RE conference in 2006 when Ant\u0026oacute;n\u0026rsquo;s work was initially presented, noted that the paper spawned the sub-field of studying requirements in the context of legal\/regulatory compliance.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe groundbreaking paper included steps for composing correct legal interpretations of requirements from laws, practical methods for distinguishing mandatory from discretionary requirements, and techniques for discovering implied rights and obligations. These steps were subsequently applied to discover more than 300 privacy requirements governing U.S. health care systems, including complex exceptions to those requirements. The papers methods have also been built into federal agency systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince the paper was published in 2006, when the authors were all at North Carolina State University\u0026#39;s Department of Computer Science, Ant\u0026oacute;n\u0026rsquo;s research in RE has included analysis of security and privacy policies, regulations, and compliance practices.
