Software Architecture for Language Engineering

Software architecture for language engineering

This thesis defines the boundaries of Software Architecture for Language Engineering (SALE), an area formed by the intersection of human language computation and software engineering. SALE covers all areas of the provision of infrastructural systems to support research and development of language processing software. In order to demonstrate the theory developed in relation to SALE, we present t...

Software Infrastructure for Language Engineering

Language-based software engineering

The three most important things in software development: notation, notation, notation. Techniques for developing reliable, error free (and these days also secure) software have been a subject of research for a long time. A number of software engineering frameworks have been proposed, from the waterfall model [1] to aspect oriented frameworks [2]. In this short paper we present a language-based ...

When Systems Engineering Meets Software Language Engineering

Multiple concerns Multiple viewpoints Multiple domains of expertise => Needs to express them! In a meaningful way for experts • Not everybody reads C code fluently…

MERA: Meta Language for Software Engineering

A unique feature of MERA is that it can be used to define many different graphical languages by creating a meta-graph in MERA that describes the formalism of the specific graphi-cal language. Therefore, for a specific purpose, a specific MERA is generated. This approach is superior than having a super set of multiple languages which increases chance of the user being overwhelmed by the complexi...
