1. A method for ensuring policy coverage, comprising:
- determining a policy coverage for one or more policies covering a region in a policy coverage space by building hypercubes defining policy coverage;
determining at least one region not covered by the policy coverage in the policy coverage space with a processor by extracting regions not covered by the hypercubes;
generating one or more suggested policies with a processor to cover at least one of the regions not covered by the policy coverage; and
supplementing the policy coverage with the one or more suggested polices to complete a policy coverage region of the policy coverage space.

Abstract
A system and method for determining policy coverage and generating a suggested policy for gaps in the policy coverage includes determining policy coverage for one or more policies in a policy coverage space and determining regions uncovered by the policy coverage in the policy coverage space. Suggested policies are generated to cover the regions uncovered by the policy coverage. The policy coverage is supplemented with the suggested polices to complete coverage of a policy set.

8. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a computer readable program for ensuring policy coverage, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
-
determining a policy coverage for one or more policies covering a region in a policy coverage space by building hypercubes defining policy coverage; determining at least one region not covered by the policy coverage in the policy coverage space by extracting regions not covered by the hypercubes; generating one or more suggested policies to cover at least one of the regions not covered by the policy coverage; and supplementing the policy coverage with the one or more suggested polices to complete a policy coverage region of the policy coverage space. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for generating suggested policies to fulfill policy gaps, comprising:
-
defining a policy domain affecting a composition of a policy condition; defining applicable ranges of all attributes of policies in the policy domain as hypercubes in the policy domain using a processor; analyzing policies to determine if regions of the domain remain uncovered by the policies by extracting regions not covered by the hypercubes; generating at least one suggested policy with a processor to cover one of a condition gap that remains uncovered by the policies and conflicts between policies; and altering the policy domain to fill the condition gap or resolve conflicts between the policies. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
