Abstract

Because software specifications often serve as a formal contract between the developer and the customer, systems have been proposed that help the software client better understand specifications by automatically paraphrasing them in natural language. The REVIEW system applies natural language generation within Metaview, a metasystem that facilitates the construction of CASE environments to support software specification tasks. This paper summarizes a technical report that presents REVIEW through a case study involving the Object Model of Rumbaugh's OMT specification methodology (1991).
