    Current Status and Process in the Development of Applications Through NLP
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Rathod, V R; Shah, S M; Modi, Nileshkumar K
    The development of natural language processing systems has resulted in their being increasingly used in support of other computer programs. This trend is particularly noticeable with regard to information management applications. Natural language processing provides a potential means of gaining access to the information inherent in the large amount of text and available through the Internet. In the following survey, we look in further details at the recent trends in research in natural language processing and conclude with a discussion of some applications of this research to the solution of information management problems.

    Natural Language Requirements to Executable Models of Software Components
    (INFLIBNET Centre, 2005-02-02) Rathod, V R; Shah, S M; Modi, Nileshkumar K.
    The UniFrame approach to component-based software development assumes that concrete components are developed from a meta-model, called the Unified Meta- component Model, according to standardized business domain models. Implicit in this development is that there is a Platform Independent Model (PIM) which is transformed into a Platform Specific Model (PSM) under the principles of Model-Driven Architecture. This paper advocates natural language as the starting point for developing the business domain models and the meta-model and shows how this natural language may be mapped through the PIM to PSM using a formal system of rules expressed in Two-Level Grammar. This allows software requirements to be progressed from business logic to implementation of components and provides sufficient automation that components may be modified at the model level, or even the natural language requirements level, as opposed to the code level.
