From time to time I am trying to implement automatic programming system. We already have the formalization of norms (laws/legislation, business policies and rules) as some kind of deontic logic (there have been endeavours to convert deontic logic formulae into executable rules). We have ontology of GUI elements. So - we have specification. But how to convert this specification into executable code? What we lack to do automatic programming at least in the domain of business software (that is specified by legislation and enterprise rules)?

We already have the formalization of norms

I don't think we do. Norms are written in natural languages (e.g. English). And truly understanding text written in a natural language (even a subset of it, such as the one used to write norms) is still not something that can be done.

Even if you solved that, business policies and rules usually aren't detailed enough to directly create useful programs out of them. That's another hurdle that's not going to be easy to cross.
