Abstract

The ICTOAN system is a natural language processing system developed jointly by ConQuest, Inc. and the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The system was written from scratch during the first five months of 1992 using an estimated eight person-months of labor. The template generation routines were reused from our MUC-3 system [1], providing leverage of perhaps one person-month. Adaptation of software designed for the ConQuest text retrieval system provided leverage of another six person-months.
